STINKING sewage is coming up out of the road at Nunwell Street in Sandown.

Flies can be seen swarming round the sewage, which is seeping out of a hole in the pavement and swimming down the road.

UPDATE: The sewer is now being fixed

See video below.

An eyewitness said: "The stench is horrendous and can be smelt from quite a way away."

The County Press contacted Southern Water for further information and a spokesperson said: "No one has contacted Southern Water regarding this, according to our system.

"We have raised this as a result of your email and a team will be dispatched to clean up, investigate and clear any blockage found."

Island Roads said: "We will be attending the scene shortly to make an assessment and take any appropriate action."
