Well it's cloudy and threatening rain but still dry and very humid. The problem is we cannot go outside or leave our windows open because of the stench of raw sewage.
A bungalow further on up the road is empty, the old boy is in a home, and during the winter the pipes froze and flooded the place bringing all the ceilings down. Specialist contractors were brought in because asbestos was found. That was cleared and different people who were acting for the insurers came from Wolverhampton everyday to clear the rest. They have now fell out with the insurers/architects so work has stopped for a few months now.
While working there lorries had put skips onto the drive and broken the manhole cover making the ground around it sink. This has obviously damaged the sewage pipes hence all the bungalows further on past adds to the sewage when they take a dump or shower which is running from the damaged driveway down the road into a gutter drain opposite our bungalow.
As far as I knew this was illegal but nobody seems to care, all they are concerned about is it on private property. I've rang the Environment Agency who gave me the telephone # of Welsh Water. They aren't interested because it's not their problem because the leak/damage is on private property. I then rang the council environmental health and inspite of being told I'm in a queue I gave up after 20 minutes. Then I found an emergency # but this was answered nationally although they said they would try and get something done unsurprisingly nothing has happened nor no return phone call.
I can see this going on for sometime now while lawyers argue who is going to pay for it while all the time cars are driving through it spreading it further. All around the gutter drain is brown sludge and it smells vile. My son just phoned and he can smell it from half a mile away.
My neighbour is now going to phone our councillor, hopefully she can help. Is it any wonder the bloody country is in a state, the stench sums it up, welcome to Beirut.
I wonder if this was Downing Street would we still have a problem.
