‘Rotten’ smell in Darlington not causing long-term health risks

The meeting was told work to stop the smell was ongoing and health officials at Darlington Borough Council urged residents to see a doctor if they continued to suffer from health issues.

Lorraine Hughes, director of public health, said: “The advice we’ve had from the Health Security Agency is that there aren’t any long-term health risks but that’s not to disregard those short-term irritations.

“Some people are more sensitive to it than others.”

Despite people still reporting the stench, the meeting heard how emissions from the site had reduced in recent months.

Ms Hughes added: “I can understand it seems to have taken a while but the work being carried out is having a positive impact.”
