Stephen Toogood, an 'odour control specialist' says, "If neighbours are annoyed they should go to their local councillor because if enough elected councillors can go to the environmental health department and wag their elected fingers, the council should do something."

Air pollution can be reported to Kingston Council on 020 8547 5536 or Edward Davey MP's office on 020 7219 3512.

Are you a Berrylands resident that's got used to the smell, or do you hold your breath as you go through on the train?

Comments

Berrylands be having bad reputation among daily travellers, but pongs be exception these days.

It be a foul stench when things go wrong so we should forward no excuses to the powers of Thames Aqua when they let one slip though.

The smell is obivously related to the ongoing pigeon problems in the area!

I don't like the questions on this site! No good at maths!

Anyway, I'd like to point out that we have not been told which bin to put the pigeons in? I have 8 bins outside, none of which are marked 'poultry or pigeon'.

This is a disgrace. However, I don't mind the smell of the site, just the pigeons in my living room.
