For hundreds of households the terrible smell emanating from a landfill site near their homes in Staffordshire is affecting their health and lives. The BBC went to meet some of those affected.
Every evening after dinner, Annie Miles and her husband Lee Hughes have a routine. Towels are rolled and put down to block the gaps beneath doors and cover air bricks. Doors to the pantry and utility rooms are sealed with tape and an air purifier is switched on.
They live about 800m from Walleys Quarry, a landfill site near the village of Silverdale that has rarely been out of the headlines for weeks. Their nightly routine is to try to avoid headaches and being unable to sleep because of the stench, dubbed the Silverdale stink.
