A WOMAN who had her garden flooded with sewage has been "overwhelmed" by a kind gesture made by a Severn Trent Water employee.

Lyndsey Bennett's garden was flooded with sewage on Monday, September 26, leaving a foul odour throughout the house and ruining her daughter's memorial garden.

The ordeal has been incredibly hard for Ms Bennett, who has suffered from nightmares and panic attacks following the flooding.

However, a Severn Trent Water employee took Ms Bennett shopping to help replace what was damaged during the flooding.

Lyndsey said: "I'm not well at all but I was overwhelmed with the kind gesture from Severn Trent Water.

"One of them took me shopping yesterday and bought me some items that were destroyed by the flooding.

"They even bought my cat, Tinkerbell, a new outdoor cat bed and a tunnel. I was speechless."

Ms Bennett said Jason Snow from Severn Trent Water also offered to help put the memorial garden for her late daughter, Emily, back to normal as well.

She said: "The man even offered to put Cotswold stone around the memorial garden for me before I put the lights in.

"He said that when he has the time and it is a dry day he would more than happily come and help me.

"I am just so overwhelmed with everything and what everyone has done for me."

Another member of the public also reached out to the Worcester News to offer his assistance in sorting out the garden for Ms Bennett.

The sewage was first noticed by Ms Bennett on Monday morning when she was letting her cat outside.

Before long, the water rose and had entirely covered her lawn and also a memorial garden to Lyndsey's daughter, Emily, who died earlier this year.

Visible remnants of toilet paper could be seen floating in the inch-deep brown, stagnant water.

Due to the severity of the flooding, Ms Bennett could not even walk to the memorial garden to rescue flowers and trinkets.

Jason Snow, Worcester and Gloucester catchment lead from Severn Trent, has worked for the company for over three decades and says he was happy to help.

“I’ve worked at Severn Trent for 31 years, every day doing my best to help customers and of all the thousands of people I’ve helped in that time, I was really taken by Ms Bennett’s situation," he said.

"I just wanted to do the right thing and genuinely hope our gesture will help Ms Bennett.”
