'It doesn't smell as bad as I thought it would'

"It doesn't smell as bad as I thought it would," says BBC Radio Oxford's Sophie Law as she went for a behind-the-scenes tour at the Oxford Sewage Treatment Works.

The site has undergone a multi-million pound upgrade to increase capacity by 33% by 2040.

Earlier this month nearly 2,000 planned homes in west Oxfordshire were delayed because of outstanding improvements to sewage works in the county.

Thames Water said it was spending about £9.5bn on the biggest sewage network upgrade for 150 years.
