“I also contacted the developers and they agreed to visit this week. They did note that hot weather can be the cause of the smell.”

NI Water confirmed a sewer blockage was cleared in Silverwood Leaves on Thursday 21st June in response to Cllr Nelson. “It was subsequently reported that other residents in the area had also reported odour issues and NI Water were on the ground on Monday 25 June, investigating and will endeavour to rectify any problems as promptly as possible.”
