By Andrew Barton & Stuart MintingResidents in a North Yorkshire villagers have said a water company has failed to act to prevent raw sewage coming up through their drains.
The parish council said Yorkshire Water had taken no effective action in over a decade to address the problem.Resident Andrew Eckersley said he and his neighbours suffered the stench of raw sewage, every time the water firm pumped out its sewage holding tank, which could be several times a week. On one occasion the smell had been so "repulsive" Mr Eckersley said he had been unable to remain at home and had "stood outside in the rain instead".Chairman Jamie Moores said those had come with a promise the situation would be addressed, followed by a "failure to act".
