A foul smelling odour that was noticed from Townsend Way to the top end of Malvern Link had residents baffled last week. Some speculated it may have been blocked drains caused by the heavy rain experienced in the area, while others thought a reckless farmer's muck sprayer may have been to blame.
Adrian Beard and his wife Dawn, from Hampden Road, Malvern Link, called the Gazette on Friday afternoon (September 5) when they could not take the smell any longer.
Mr Beard said: "I smelt it last night about 11 or 12 o'clock just when we were taking the dogs out. This morning it was just horrible."

Mysterious lights over Wrexham
|
Strange, dazzling lights flying slowly through the night sky have been reported near Wrexham, sparking a new UFO scare.
The
Evening Leader has been inundated with calls reporting the triangular shapes over Rhos, as well as sightings in Johnstown and Borras.
The incident, the latest in a long line of sightings in the town, is strengthening claims that the town is fast becoming a UFO hotspot.
A strange light was seen across Chorley on Monday evening sparking a 'UFO alert' in the town.
BAE Sytems worker Neil Simpson was at his home in Saville Street, Chorley, at around 9.50pm when he saw the light in the sky.
Seconds later his partner, who on her way to work, rang to say she had seen an amazing orange light in front of her car as she drove down the slip road to the M61 at Botany Bay.

More than half of all Americans believe they have been helped by a guardian angel in the course of their lives, according to a new poll by the Baylor University Institute for Studies of Religion. In a poll of 1700 respondents, 55% answered affirmatively to the statement, "I was protected from harm by a guardian angel." The responses defied standard class and denominational assumptions about religious belief; the majority held up regardless of denomination, region or education - though the figure was a little lower (37%) among respondents earning more than $150,000 a year.
THREE station workers and three backpackers have been left stunned after witnessing strange lights flying over a remote station in the Northern Territory outback.
Ray Aylett, Normie Hooker and Alan "Doc" McIntosh were sitting on their pergola at Muckaty Station with three European backpackers when a bright light appeared.
Mr Aylett, 58, said they were all stunned by the bizarre sighting.
"This strange light was coming straight for us, over the house," he said.
"We all walked outside and were watching it come towards us, then it went straight east and faded out.''
Mr Aylett, who has lived at the station north of Tennant Creek for eight years, said he couldn't believe his eyes as the bright light approached on a Thursday night two weeks ago.
"This thing was strange,'' he said.
"I have never seen anything like it."
"Normie and Doc had never seen anything like it either, and those backpackers, they were in shock."
"I was sitting there watching for a couple of minutes."
"You could see it coming towards us but it wasn't a plane."
"It made no noise - you couldn't hear anything.''
Mr Aylett said there was no way their judgement could have been affected by alcohol.
"Me and Doc had had a couple of beers, but Normie doesn't drink,'' he said.
With a history dating back to the time of the Norman conquest, spectacular views over the Trent, 17 bedrooms, a private gym and its own cinema, Clifton Hall appeared to have everything for the discerning millionaire purchaser.
But for Anwar Rashid and his family, the Nottinghamshire pile went from home of their dreams to a house of nightmares as they came to believe it was haunted. After eight months of being plagued by unexplained screams in the long corridors, chilling ghostly visitations and mysterious blood spots, they began to fear they had strayed into a real life version of The Others, a horror film starring Nicole Kidman, released in 2001.
It was 34 years ago this month when Edwin Fuhr encountered five dome-shaped objects hovering about a half-metre above his canola field.
A millionaire businessman from Nottinghamshire has said ghosts forced him to flee his 52-room mansion.
Clifton Hall was bought by Anwar Rashid for £3.6m in 2007, but he has now handed it back to the bank.
Mr Rashid claimed that during the eight months the family lived there they were haunted by mysterious figures and found unexplained blood stains on bedclothes.
UFO sightings are rare around the world, but not uncommon in New Mexico. On Monday night, several Action 7 News viewers reported an alleged flying saucer on the northwest side of Roswell.
