‘We have taken urgent steps to investigate and rectify the issue’: Developer apologises after Shrewsbury housing estate’s drainage system leaves residents with 'awful smell'
A developer has apologised for any disruption caused after residents at a Shrewsbury housing estate reported a foul stench from a sewage pump station this week.
The pump station on the Sutton Grange housing estate off Oteley Road in Shrewsbury began putting out the foul smell on Wednesday afternoon.
A local councillor said she was at the scene and was fearful that the nearby Rea Brook could become polluted.
Vicky Moore, councillor for Oteley and Reabrook at Shropshire Council, said “It started leaking in the early afternoon on Wednesday. There is an absolutely awful smell.
