Dear Editor,
We the residents of the Western part of Success, East Coast Demerara, are being faced with a very disgusting stench in the area.
There is a resident near the Hindu Temple, who uses his back yard to rear chickens. The stench emanating from this chicken pen is offensive and hazardous for our children and the community.
Residents warn the owner many times to get the place clean, but for some reason or the other he seems not to be concerned about the smell emanating from his pen, since he is not dwelling at the back where the stench is.
We have reported this to the health authorities at the Betterhope/Success NDC and the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) a few times and no action has being taken so far.
The residents of Success are pleading with the relevant authority to look into this matter as soon as possible, so as to bring some relief to the community.
Residents
