Natural Resources Wales says it is aware of the smell and is working with the land owner, local authorities and council to investigate the matter.

The resident said: We have now endured the smell for almost a month and it has become unbearable.

People we have spoken to have referred to it as smelling like dead bodies rotting and human waste.

After speaking with other fellow residents, many who are farmers who have been here for years and years, they agree too that it's unlike anything they have ever smelt before.

The notorious 'Sealand stink' has plagued the area for decades with many residents over the years complaining about the issue.

There have been questions marks about the source of the smell which is on the road that borders England and Wales.

Back in 2014, Welsh Water promised to spend 1 million to finally eliminate the stench.

A spokesperson at Natural Resources Wales said: "We are aware of the odour concerns raised in the Sealand Road area and are working with the land owner, Local Authority and Environment Agency to investigate the matter further.
