Sign of the times...village flooded with waste sends message to Thames Water

SICKENED villagers have accused Thames Water of foul play on a mock hazard road sign where they must wade through faeces, sanitary products and even underwear.

The "Lambourn Sh*t Show" board has been planted in the pretty Berkshire neighbourhood where locals say the problem started in December.

A drain in Newbury Street began to overflow before spilling out into other areas of the village.

Children have to walk through the stinking water to get to school while passing cars churn up the filth, which has been killing plants and wildlife.

Fears have been raised that the toxic waste is contaminating the River Lambourn, the protected chalk stream featured in The Great British Bake Off.

Lambourn sits within the North Wessex Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty and is downstream to where the Channel 4 show is filmed.
