Raw sewage leaking onto public highway.

When the weather is wet excess water accumulates at the top of Talland Hill and there is a very strong smell of sewage. It appears to be coming from the wall on the left handside of the lane (as you stand at the junction looking down the lane).

Offensive? Unsuitable? Tell us

I received an email from Cornwall County Council saying that they were aware of the problem. They said that it was caused by a septic tank being overloaded, which they said was being rectified by installing another septic tank. Up to date though I have not seen any work being carried out, but I can't recall experiencing the smell recently.
