Human waste found in water at Hucknall park after sewage leak

Residents have described seeing brown murky water and toilet paper in a Hucknall park due to a sewage leak. Human waste polluted swales at Merlin Park, located between Watnall Road and Bulwell Hall Golf Course.

People living nearby said three of six swales at the park had been contaminated by Friday, November 11. Muse Developments, which owns the former Rolls Royce site next to the park, said there had been a collapse of a foul drain.

The landowner said it was working with the Environment Agency and that it had worked to repair the break "as quickly as possible". Jen Plant, who lives at the newly built Griffon Drive estate, said her husband Stephen first noticed the waste on Tuesday, November 8.
