Residents blame landfill for stench

THE EARLY HOURS OF the morning and evenings have become very uncomfortable for some Arch Hall, St Thomas residents.

And they are attributing the blame for a smell enveloping the district to sewage being dumped at the Mangrove Landfill located upwind.

Gary Browne and Javal Lewis said they have felt dizzy and light-headed, while Mary Armstrong said her epileptic son had three seizures last Wednesday, and developed a cough since the smell started about three weeks ago.

Browne said early in the morning the scent was bad, it then abated for a while, but from about 4 p.m. sewage trucks could be seen at the top of the hill depositing a liquid substance.

“It stink, stink, unbearable”, he said. (LK)
