It is quite nauseating - warrants an asbo in my book... I've lived in this house on the Nevill for 22 years and never, ever, have I smelled anything like this...

One of the fields in Cuckoo Bottom area I think, just inside the old racecourse from the Nevill.

Same smell in Barcombe too. I blame those pesky farmers myself.

Maybe when Southern Water turned off the mains water last night it caused a back-up of waste or undiluted effluent to ferment, thus the pungent atmosphere in town.

For the record IMEYOU, I come from a farming background and the smell is WONDERFUL, reminds me of my time growing up on the farm, which is sadly no longer. Good to see farmers still using the old pig stuff !! Can't beat it for good pasture and crops.

I 2nd your comment , I used to live next to a farm that also had pigs, they used a sprayer type machine to cover the field . it stank for about a week. I think the field was used for cow grazing, first time i have smelt that smell in lewes though. Clears the nostrills !

Has this happened before then?
Does it happen every year?

It surely isn't good old manure. That can smell but at least in an earthy way. This is absolutely revolting.
I smelt it yesterday near the Kingston roundabout (sitting at those traffic lights was not pleasant) but last night it was stinking out towards Ringmer.

Dear Mr. Newman
Thank you for contacting this office about the above foul odour. ..blah blah... the farmer and contractor performing the fieldwork have observed a Defra code of agricultural good practice..blah blah...This includes ploughing the waste into the soil within 24 hours..blah
..Whilst I recognise... the odour is unpleasant, ...blah blah..I do hope blah....sorry I cannot be of further assistance.
Great. Look I may be an unwanted DFL cast out , despised and obliged to give up my seat on the bus to the pure breds but I still say this is disgusting and its never been like this before.
I`m not anti farm but if anyone else rendered the air unbreathable for days they would be carted off to the European court of injustice and forced to listen to Caroline Lucas until they internally combusted.

It's definitely not the usual pooey smell evident at this time of year. I blame climate change myself. Obviously leads to festering.

Do you see much of Robert Redford these days?

Now i don't mind the smells of the country but this has been down right offensive. It was 23 degrees yesterday afternoon and i had to sit indoors with doors and windows shut as the stench was making me feel ill.
Still at least it'll give the Sussex Depress something to put on their front page next week

It is too hot and the smell is offensive for a residential area, where many older people also live and is making them sick. Not everyone grew up on a farm and if you are one that did, then I am sure you would complain if you had not.
