Residents say they have fled their new flats after "puddles of excrement" appeared in their gardens and inside their homes - with "poo coming out of the shower". Tenants of Rainbow View, a converted former council building, blame incomplete construction work by builders for their 'horrendous' living conditions.
Brown 'slurry' and water has been flowing out of drains near the building and onto a road that children walk down to a play park. Resident Nikki Clargo, 37, said that the building's 20 flats have had "dozens" of issues since she bought her flat 18 months ago - and now when she flushes her toilet sewage flows out of her shower drain.
She only realised that the issue was hitting everyone in the building after she got fed up with the slow response of building management and complained about it with her neighbours. After claiming complaints to building managers Apex Property Management fell on deaf ears, she even temporarily moved out of the first home she has bought to live in with her partner.
