Mystery mucky stench in Telford village gives residents a real headache
Some residents in a leafy Telford village say a strange smell has been emanating around the parish lately - and one woman has suffered migraines due to the stench.
Laura Stoner has lived in Ryder Drive in Muxton with her son and husband for the last four years.
She said they began to notice a strange stench after Christmas and that it has become so overpowering that Laura had to take two weeks off work due to migraines caused by the smell.
She said: "It started in January. It really smacks you in the face. It comes and goes and it is difficult to describe but when you leave the house it is really noticeable. It is sort of a waste smell with a chemical element.
