I BELIEVE Cllr Adrian Blackshaw said that modern technology had solved the problem of smell from giant chicken houses. If there is, indeed, any such technology it either has wholly failed to work or is not much being used.

We cannot hang our washing out or sleep with the window open around here.

It's no good complaining to the council. They have no interest in the matter. You need to ring the Environment Agency on 0800 807060. This line is free on landlines and open 24 hours a day.

Do not put up with the stink. Stand up for yourselves.
