Everyone takes exception to the smells over the city of York and, automatically, the sugar factory in campaign gets the blame.

But I should like to point out there is an effluent processing plant at the side of the outer ring road (B1237) in Rawcliffe. The smell from there is also obnoxious, especially during summer months. This plant works all year round. I think it is unfair to blame the sugar beet factory all the time.
