A WIDOWED pensioner has been left stranded in his home by “torrents” of raw sewage that flood his garden during heavy rain. Pat Perkins, 81, has to put wellies on to wade through up to four inches …
“I can’t have my grandchildren, I can’t have the dog in the garden or anything. I’m virtually stuck here in the house. It gets you down. It’s ridiculous.Pat put concrete blocks on the manhole cover in a desperate bid to stem the tidal wave of foul-smelling waste being pumped out, but pressure from the flooded drains pushes it off.Pat and his family say the flooding has got worse since a housing estate was built nearby and they have lashed out at Severn Trent.
Pat said: “I like to get out and do things around the garden and keep my mind occupied but it is getting worse instead of better. It affects your mental health. “I like to see them. They make my week at the weekend, but I told them you had better not come as I don’t want to see anything happen to them."
“It is disgusting. It covers about 80 percent of the garden. Then it goes down the drive, across the pavement and down the road.
