Foul smell at historic Mayo street

RESIDENTS and businesses at historic Lucan Street in Castlebar are up in arms over a consistent smell at the location.

According to local Councillor Frank Durcan, the stench is coming from a public sewer. Other areas of the town also experience the foul smell on different occasions.

He said he was approached by a number of people to raise the issue in the hope of having it resolved.

Councillor Durcan acknowledged that work is underway by council staff but the bad odour is not going away.
