Wistaston residents fear polluting waste from a storm drain at Wistaston Brook is killing wildlife and causing “vile” odours in the area.
The storm drain has been flooding the brook which runs along the popular Joey the Swan recreation ground, where families go for exercise and walking dogs.
Villagers say they have been fighting for authorities to fix blocked drains which have flooded their pothole-ridden road for almost four years.
Families on Hilbre bank in Alpraham say Cheshire East Council and water companies have not carried out essential repairs on a section of the route.
Ham-fisted highways workers have filled in two potholes in Nantwich – along with most of the drainage covers next to them!
These pictures show how clumsy workers filled in the potholes at the side of a busy Nantwich road, and ended up covering most of the adjacent drainage lids.
