A telephone ''Pong'' line has been launched to keep people in touch with steps to rid South Woodham of the smell of rotten eggs that has been plaguing the town.
People can find out exactly what's going on to stop the pong by telephoning the new information line on 01376 572674.
Until the stink has gone for good they will hear a short, pre-recorded update on the problem.
It is part of further action by the Environment Agency to combat continuing bad smells from the Pitsea landfill site. The nasty niffs are thought to be wafting over from the site, causing hundreds of complaints.
