Residents in Laindon today told how they have had to put up with overflowing toilets for seven months - because of a council botch-up.
Basildon Council has admitted drainage work started in November, but was suspended when a senior contractor suffered an injury and the work then became overlooked "in the system".
Repairs were due to restart today.
