Business owners in Riverbank Road are up-in-arms about the raw sewage that affects them on a daily basis. The road comprises businesses and also small entrepreneurs who are mostly motor mechanics. According to one business owner operating in the area, they have been badly affected by stinky sewer water running in front of their shops.
The businessmen are now placing wooden pallets on the ground to give people something to walk on, instead of slopping in the stinky sewer water.
