Penrith Pong is no joke
Available for over a year
Complaints have increased this summer over the bad smell that lingers over the town. MP for Penrith and Solway, Markus Campbell-Savours said the "pong" was one of the biggest concerns raised by constituents since he was elected in July. In a Freedom of Information request the 91福利社 has learned that the factory blamed for a "nausea-inducing pong" breached or failed to comply with the terms of its environmental permit 40 times in the last five years. Omega Proteins said there were "various sources" for the odours, and it had installed "multiple odour abatement technologies" at its factory.
