Last week the smell when you walked out the front door was not attributed to my husband's socks but once again to the Wick Waste Treatment Work out past Broadhaven
HOW! WHY! don't know but I do know it was bad enough to shut the doors and windows, keep the kids indoors and not even dream of hanging out the washing
I know I have posted on this before but that was over a year ago and like all good citizens I thought that someone would have the decency to realise that living with that stench was cruelty, because if that stink had been coming from my premises I'm sure I would have been locked up for it
so I 'm grumping but it seems after checking the website that I have bloody good reason to do so, PLEASE do not wipe out the swearing as it is not often you find that your not that old Waste Treatment plant has made it to the list of 35 worst smelling plants in scotland.
attached is a list of websites mainly from the Scottish Executive who have set up a steering group (Scottish Odour Steering Group) to tackle the worst Waste Water Treatment Plants out of 122 plants which have odour issues the top 35 have been singled out to receive money to upgrade or tackle the smell issue.

www.scotland.gov.uk/Publications/2006/04/20140331/0
WICK has made this list
Out of this 35 WWTW's only 14 will receive funding in the 2006-2010 period with the other 21 sites having to wait to the 2010-2014 period
To say I am not really keen on having to wait another 4 years for this issue to be rectified is an understatement.
How such a NEW plant has such an obvious problem beggars belief?????
I know that you are busy yet I think that this is being swept under the carpet and would be greatful for your help.
