A Nottinghamshire dad has criticised a local council after he claimed sewage flooded into his family's home three times. Luke Towle, 34, his wife Kerry, 37, and their two children have had their council home on Inham Road, Chilwell flood three times over the last month.
The flat was first flooded by faulty pipework in early June, then a second time, and then for a third time last weekend (July 8). The couple have said waste and sewage seeped into their home each time, ruining photos and books with sentimental value and forcing them to replace carpets and other items.
"We were told the pipework was damaged recently, but there hasn't been a lot of urgency to repair it. It has damaged a lot of our children's and our belongings and I've had to replace all of the carpets because of the damp and water damage," Mr Towle said.
