Pongy drains getting up residents' noses

Stinky drains have been up getting up residents' noses on a Shropshire housing estate following reports of unpleasant smells during hot weather.

People living on the estate, off Adderley Road in Market Drayton, say bad smells and problems with drainage have caused them major headaches since moving in. The homes were built about five years ago.

Developers who built a pumping station on the estate, which residents believe is the cause of the problem, today said the matter is being dealt with as "a priority".

Householders who were among the first to move in to the homes when they were built say that their complaints about the drains at the time were ignored.
