Stench ? like meat that?s gone off .Film on water and some froth. There is a Butcher?s shop in McNamara avenue where they expanded the shop to a small meats factory illegally - no planning permit. When I reported that to MVCC they checked the site and made some improvements. Tried to report this to 9695 2777 by but no answer and no voice mail either. I don?t work near that shop anymore but did go through the street last year and saw them yet again hosing down their area and letting it go down the storm water drain Perhaps this stench comes from them or it could be anyone in Airport West that handles meat.. 2/4/2010 10:30 Goble Street 18 Less than 10 7.6 0.80 4 0.0
