The abatement order is finally official and the smell should end for good. It has been an exhausting road but we secured the outcome we fought for. Keep an eye on the situation because we will not hesitate to hold them to the fine if the air goes foul again.

If you have smelt it at any time you have been effected even by just driving over the A30, or near the old quay house or anywhere.

We have created this petition to help the community and people around us to understand what can be done to enjoy a better quality of life, without any interruptions of the obnoxious odours from the St Erth/Hayle Sewage Treatment Works,which we have had to endure for the last four decades. I am seeking your help and support to eliminate this problem once and for all. We are in touch and being supported in an advisery capacity by someone in Yorkshire who have successfully won the same fight against Yorkshire water, and was able to gain compensation of £75,000 for the community, and more importantly to obtain an abatement order against them for £20,000 per day in fines, should they be in breach of the conditions. We hope to achieve the same outcome as our colleague was able to do in Yorkshire.

Reaching this level of support shows how many of us have been forced to live with this stench for far too long. I am drained from the constant battle but seeing so many people join this fight proves that we are finally being taken seriously. We have a long path ahead to secure that abatement order and I intend to see this through to the end.

It's awful and embarrassing especially when we have holiday makers down, we should not have to live near that! I don't live in St Erth I am the 515 driver that goes through St Erth on the way to Marazion and Penzance. The stench stays on the bus for a while after going through i cannot imagine what its like for those poor people who live there.
I've smelt it many times when I've been at Wyevale Garden Centre, Lelant. It's disgusting. I spend my time there holding my nose when I'm outside looking around.
The Sewage Works need to be managed and run efficiently especially as there are more developements in our area. At times, the smell of raw sewage is so strong and this is an unhealthy 'Nuisance'...something needs to be done!
Unbearable living conditions have had enough especially seeing our 7 year old physically being sick on patio two weeks when trying to enjoy our unexpected summer weather. We cannot allow South West Water to carry on this practice any longer! , PLEASE FIGHT AND SUPPORT TO GIVE US OUR LIVES BACK!!!!!!! Thank You
Living 300metres away from the sewage plant, really puts me off in many ways I can't enjoy my home when it smells like a toilet. I can't sit outside or enjoy a BBQ. Iam at my wits end and am doing what I can!
I remember this from over 20yrs ago when my grandparents lived in cannonstown, we called it “Hayle Pong”. Terrible for locals
Bloody stinks just going over the causeway feel sorry for those who live by it.

My family have had to put up with the stench for nearly 20 years. It comes into the house and makes it smell. SWW should give something back to our community for the last 40 years they have stunk the village out !! All they have given us is a pong.
