Dear Newton News,
In response to Darryl Pettit’s letter, “Return of that Smell?”, I wanted to make him aware that his views are not felt by everyone.
Whilst the smell from the fields is certainly noticeable in many areas around Aycliffe, not everyone finds it “obscene” or “horrendous”.
Many of the townsfolk, including myself, particularly enjoy inhaling this odour. Please remember that smell, much like sight, sound, touch or taste is subjective, so whilst some people may describe it as foul or offensive, I actually very much enjoy this smell. This is why I think getting DCC involved is not in the interest of everyone.
