do you live in the broadhaven area of wick? and have been suffering the smell

[lynne duncan]

do you live in the broadhaven area of wick?
we do and for the most of this week (and it has been the most wonderful week, weather wise) we have had to suffer the most dreadful smell emanating from the waste water treatment plant (otherwise the sewerage plant).
if anyone else has been suffering this smell, please would you phone the scottish water helpline 08456018855 and report it as a Odour Complaint, it doesnt take 2mins to report it, but scottish water will not be able to allocate funds towards this problem until they get more complaints, even though they know there is a problem, again the more folk that voice complaints about this the better.
and then one more phone call to Enviromental Health based in wick council office (wick 607773) and again report it to them, they are also keeping a record of all the people suffering because of this stench.

the Odour complaint is along the same lines as a noise complaint.
even if you are walking past the plant and you find the smell o be too offensive then you can still report it as the smell should be contained within the plant!!

I walked past it tonight & I didnt smell anything bad at all- maybe this was an exception?

the smell is there a lot, i drive in past that way everyday and can get the whiff of it, feel sorry for those living in the area, especially on nice days when you want to sit out and get the washing done, :~(

It's probably the recent SE/E wind that is blowing it onshore - a SW/W is more common here - but that's little consolation to local residents I know. My current olfactory problem is high pollen from the silage cutting that's on the go; can't stop sneezing and scratching!
