A few weeks ago we were visited by a man who wanted to do something to the manhole in our garden due to the neighbours having a blocked toilet. We have since had a sewer smell from the manhole. The paving around is cracked but has been for a while. What needs doing to get rid of the smell? Does the manhole cover need replacing, the paving need relaying or something else?

Thames water came and said their manhole is ok. However paving surrounding it has a crack. Hosing into the crack goes straight into the depths of the sewers. They suggest repaying the garden but I can't see how this can be any more than cosmetic. Surely the sewer gases can get through pretty paving too. Any suggestions?

    • ditto - the lack of respect the organisers / council have for the impact on the wildlife and damage to the park is the reason I protest the Gala on its current site. The noise is secondary
    • Not sure about that - I'm personally not too bothered by the noise, despite living possibly the closest to the site. I am bothered by the impact on all the wildlife, as should hopefully everyone with a conscience and who care about their community?
    • Their coffee and food is delicious. Really nicely decorated cafe with a nice vibe and a great selection of books too. The owner and staff are all very friendly and happy to chat when preparing your order.
    • The venn diagram of people who are personally really bothered by the noise from GALA and are also deeply concerned about the local bat population looks remarkably just like a circle.
