A man who lives on a road dubbed the 'Poo Mews' claims it has been flooding with sewage and dead rats - for almost 30 years.

Paul Seymour, 65, moved into Sandcliff Road in Erith, south-east London, in 1997.

And he says that he has dealt with raw sewage and other waste frequently spilling from a manhole cover ever since.

Footage from one incident, shot this week, shows the murky water rushing out onto the street at a rapid pace.

Paul claims that this issue has happened about 20 times since he moved there, with faeces, used sanitary products, nappies, and dead rats all littering the road.
