Sewage on halting site ‘a serious risk to children’

A large lagoon of water and raw untreated sewage poses a serious health and drowning risk to almost 100 children living alongside it, a damning report has warned.

And a near-vertical 20m-high unstable cliff face towering over homes should be made safe to prevent its collapse.

These are just two of a raft of serious engineering and public health issues identified by three reports which warn of major risks to the health of residents living on what has been branded one of the country’s worst halting sites.
