I've noticed over the last couple of days that the smell from the sewage farm, located down Lower Marsh Lane, has been pretty pungent. Anyone else noticed this? Personally I think it's the strongest it has been since I moved to the area some 13 years ago.
I thought that measures had been taken to reduce the stench.

Thanks for an accurate version of 'events'.
It has to be said, it's a bit of a stinker!.......... I'll get my coat!
I have, when I was walking along Maple Road last night!
It is certainly the worst that I have ever smelt it as far away as that, so god knows what it must have been like near the plant itself.
I don't think that thames Water did much in the end. They wanted to build a 'Student Village' on the site and agreed to sort the smell out at the same time. When Ken Livingstone stepped in and stopped the development, Thames stopped that as well.
I think that they did a temporary/half-way house type of thing, but it obviously isn't working.
