Councillors in Trafford have called for Government action over flash flooding incidents in Timperley where residents are regularly inundated with raw sewage. Homes are being engulfed twice a year with water several feet deep from Fairywell Brook, says local councillor Will Frass.
The properties in Fairbourne Drive, Swaylands Drive, Framingham Road, Woodhouse Lane and Heyes have all been badly affected, he reported. Liberal Democrat Councillor Frass told a meeting of Trafford council that homes that in the past were flooded once a decade are now engulfed twice a year because of the "climate emergency".
However, United Utilities deny that raw sewage is emanating from the brook when it floods as, they say, there is no storm outlet going into it.
