On returning to newbold from Calow on Wednesday afternoon as we passed nebold tesco garage and aproached nebold village i and my familys nostrills were assaulted by the most dreadfull stench, as we got nearer to our home in Dunston the smell became more concentrated, from what i have been told this stench was emanating from a field behind dunston where a farmer had been spraying pig slurry.
later the same afternoon i went shopping to both Asda and Iceland and not only could you smell it outside the stores, as Iceland has no aircon you could smell it all over the shop even at the bottom of the shop, i then had to go to littlemoor post office and the smell was foul.
I understand that farmers need to spray their fields but i am also sure that causing such a stench over such a large area must be in contravention of the clean air legislation, when you consider the distance from the point of spraying to Sheffield road is about a mile and at this point the smell was extremelly strong just how far was its total coverage, so if anyone smelled this awfull stenh let us know your rough area which may help us to determine its total area.
