Herne Hill bike shop mechanics fear for their health over 'unbearable' Thames Water sewer stench with no fix in sight

Thames Water has given no date for fixing the sewer problem behind the stench. The south London shop's owner and mechanics say the smell is 'unbearable'. They now fear for their health and for the future of the Herne Hill business. Questions are also mounting over whether London's £5bn 'super sewer' has cleaned up the Thames.

Staff face the sewer smell inside the shop every working day.

The owner warns the stench threatens the Herne Hill shop's survival.
