This overload regularly happens around Great Heywood where BW have free water and refuse but have handed the sani back to Anglo Welsh who now charge for elsan emptying. When we wrote to them about this BW Fazeley informed us that if there inadequate or no BW facilities in an area then we boaters should use (and pay for!) those provided by marinas which BW feel are there to fill the gaps. They therefore have no plans for more facilities in the Units area even though this area really needs at least 3 to be built given the gaps in their part of the network plus new marinas opening and so more boats wanting to use what there is! Welcome to new caring BW - this unit being the wooden bollard mob too.
