'Raw sewage overflowing' in park after drain blocked

"Raw sewage" has been overflowing into a Wirral park for "days", causing a "health hazard".

A blocked drain at Vale Park in New Brighton has caused sewage to overflow, creating a stench and leaking onto the grass and footpaths, according to residents. Twitter user Jay See sent a tweet to Labour MP for Wallasey Angela Eagle, saying: "Vale Park has a drain overflowing with raw sewage, it's a health hazard and has been like that for days".

Ms Eagle replied: "I will contact United Utilities and see what they are going to do about it."
