    -27- The areas of The County Borough of Ipswich The Felixstowe Water Company The Urban Districts ofStowmarket and Woodbridge The Rural Districts of Deben, Gipping andSamford Sewerage and Sewage Disposal The provision of village sewerage schemes has proceeded well (see Table XVI) and, moreover, the sewerage authorities have recently agreed to a provisional programme of sewerage development for the next twenty years (Table XVII). It is noticeable that the smaller the authority the greater the pro- gress that has been made. This position has been brought about to some extent by the availability of grant aid, both from the Government and the County Council. There would, however, appear to be no reasonable excuse for the open sewer ditches which still, in some villages, flow through the main streets, creating nuisances and addition of pollution to rivers. In the interests of planning, amenity, economy and efficiency of operation and management, the County Council's policy has been to en- courage joint sewage treatment works, and the District Councils have generally co-operated willingly. The following shows the progress made in this respect: Existing Joint Schemes Bradwell to Gt. Yarmouth Hopton &, Lound to Gt. Yarmouth Blundeston & Corton Carlton Colville to Lowestoft Worlingham, North Cove & Barnby Gisleham to Kessingland Wissett to Halesworth Holton to Halesworth Kelsale to Saxmundham Fressingfield & We^bread Southwold, Reydon & Walberswick Peasenhall, Sibton & Yoxford with Darsham (part) Botesdale, Rickinghall Superior & Rickinghall Inferior (West Suffolk) Palgrave to Diss Stowupland to Stowmarket Gt.
