A group of Richibucto residents are fed up with the smell produced from the shell-drying plant and have been calling on the municipality and the province to shut it down.
Ahead of Beaurivage Town Hall Tuesday night, dozens of community members, parents, and children stood together against the smell from Coastal Shell Products in Richibucto, N.B.
Seven Richibucto residents have filed separate lawsuits against Coastal Shell Products, alleging they're unable to enjoy their properties because of the smell coming from the company's shell-processing plant.
The stink has been stopped, at least for now. A shell-drying facility in Richibucto, New Brunswick was shut down by the province Thursday, which is much celebrated by the local residents who have been vocal about the stench for weeks.
