'Unbelievable pong' plagues holiday park for years

Ongoing problems with an "unbelievable pong" at a holiday park have led to criticism of a utility company for not doing enough to tackle the issue.

Bosses at Lady's Mile Holiday Park in Dawlish Warren, Devon, complained a sewage smell occurred intermittently in part of the site, forcing some visitors to leave when it arose.

Park operations manager Stephen Brown said the business had contacted South West Water about the problem over a number of years but the issue had been "ignored".

South West Water said in a statement work at a treatment works in the area had caused "some temporary smells" but it had also investigated the possibility the smell could be coming from elsewhere.
