Out of Sight, Out of Mind Britain's sewers- once the best system in the world -are now collapsing daily. Holes big enough to swallow a double-decker bus are appearing throughout the country as sewers cave in through old age and lack of maintenance. The collapses pose a real threat to both safety and public health, as well as causing major disruption in the worst hit cities.

Worse still, most authorities are only now realising the scale of the problem.
