Residents in a Nottinghamshire village have complained of sewage spilling onto a main road, saying it makes them "think of medieval times". Foul smells and "mushed-up" toilet paper have been reported in Westdale Lane near its junction with Main Road, Gedling.
Severn Trent Water said a team had been to the site and was working "as quickly as possible" to stop the sewage flooding, which has been caused by a blockage. Chris Cann, a retired library worker who lives in nearby Vernon Avenue, said the sight and smell of the sewage on the pavement was "totally disgusting".
"I couldn't believe it when I saw it," she said. "There's raw sewage, people have seen mushed-up toilet paper coming out of the drain.
