Family forced to live with 'human faeces' flooding their drive for 17 years

A family has been battling to prevent their drive from flooding with human faeces for the last 17 years.

Rob Shephard, 55, has been in dispute with United Utilities for a number of years over the persistent flooding at his parents' home on Altway, Aintree. His mum and dad live at the home and have done since 1974, but since 2006 they have had human faeces and toilet paper littering their driveway.

Although Alf and Jean haven't been plagued with gushing soiled water in 18 months, every time it rains they worry it's going to be the next wave of flooding. The cause of the flooding has been a contentious topic that has been disputed by United Utilities.
