The “Pakenham stink” has reared its ugly head again and resident David Cahir says he won’t stop until the smell does.
“I have walked the streets at 2am trying to find where it is coming from,” he said.
“I am manic about it.”
Mr Cahir said that after two years of dealing with the Cardinia Shire Council he was taking the matter further, straight to the Environmental Protection Authority (EPA).
Spokesman for Cardinia Shire Council, Paul Dunlop said council officers had received at least 10 complaints in relation to smells in the Pakenham area over the past two weeks and said appropriate action would be taken.
Mr Dunlop encouraged residents who felt a particular smell was stronger on some days than others to contact the council.
EPA spokesperson Ruth Ward said the authority had received about 30 reports about the smell in Pakenham over the past calendar year.
Residents can call EPA’s pollution Watchline on 9695 2777.
