Smell hell - gone?

It's been two months now, since Stoke had a whiff of the local landfill that so blighted the springtime and early summer with its 'bad eggs' smell. At least, that's been the case down here in the valley, and for someone with windows open. Mostly likely it's still not too pleasant for those living around the edges of the site.

Great news, Stoke's pigeon cull has begun. Sadly it's unofficial. What we really need is a big official cull, right across the city. There are far too many of them, and they're becoming a pest species.
