She has been living with excrement in her garden for almost a week
A Nottinghamshire grandma has been living with "vile" human waste in her garden for almost a week after sewage was pumped up out of a drain. Carol Jones said her four-year-old granddaughter slipped into a pile of excrement when they discovered the mess on Saturday, May 18.
Ms Jones was returning from a day out with her grandkids when she noticed her lawn was soaked. "My daughter said 'your home smells of poo'," she recalled."I went out into the garden and the children followed me, the little four-year-old girl tripped up and slipped into what looked like a pile of mushy sludge."It had run down to the patio and collected and it was vile. Every time someone nearby did something there would be a little surge.
The investigation established the issue was being caused by a blockage in a Severn Trent manhole, Ms Jones said. Speaking to Nottinghamshire Live on Friday, she said Severn Trent had only just sent someone to clean up the mess. "These are services you pay for all your working life, then something like this happens and they say they can't come because they are dealing with more problems." Ms Jones said her granddaughter was fine but she and the girl's mum were "beside ourselves".
