Residents in Plymouth, UK, are increasingly frustrated by a persistent and unpleasant sewage odour affecting areas such as Cattedown, St Judes, Prince Rock, and Coxside. The issue has been ongoing for years, with past complaints dating back to 2002 when local MP Linda Gilroy highlighted the problem. Recently, MP Luke Pollard received numerous complaints regarding the odour, particularly during late April when a sewage overflow incident was flagged. Pollard has written to South West Water, demanding immediate action to resolve the issue. Despite South West Water's investment of £200,000 in site improvements and their claim of no significant odour issues during inspections, residents continue to report a stench that makes their eyes water. Many locals have taken to social media to express their disgust, urging authorities to take the matter seriously. Plymouth City Council has stated that while they have not received recent complaints, they encourage residents to report ongoing issues, which may prompt further investigation.
