Since posting the story at expressandecho.co.uk readers have inundated us with comments:
Lisa Zegzdryn: "They are only doing a new treatment works to cope with Cranbrook not to try and make things better for Countess Wear."
Jane Trevett: "Noticed it around four weeks ago just driving past, thought it was the hot weather, making the mud stink but this explains it."
Caz Trundle: "It's vile, and disgusting, we have to live with this constantly stinking our houses out, making us all feel physically sick. We're having to shut our windows on occasions to block the smell out. Something needs to be done as its making so many people be and feel so poorly."
Shanna Aitken: "You could always smell it when taking kids to school, it's disgusting, I feel sorry for everyone who has to put up with it all day every day."
Sarah Burden: "You can smell it driving along the motorway bridge so feel for the residents who have to put up with it. It makes me feel sick driving along. No-one should have to live with that. Whoever is responsible sort it please. We have noise pollution rules and regulations, surely there is one for smells?"
