VIDEO: Sewage surfaces between caravans at Northampton holiday park

Footage taken by Jade Dunne shows the land in between two caravans at Billing Aquadrome submerged in a large puddle of wastewater, said to smell "atrocious".

One resident claimed it to be the sixth or seventh incident of its kind since the end of March.

"When it was reported, it took two or three days for them to come out and have a look," said Miss Dunne, who has a relative living at Billing Aquadrome.

"They're trying to make it into a nice, family holiday park but they've got sewage coming up through the ground."

She added: "They're doing nothing about it. The smell is atrocious."
