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, N.B. residents are suing Coastal Shell Products and it's owners over loss of enjoyment of their property.
The reprieve from the reek of rotting shellfish in Richibucto was disappointingly short-lived, say residents who have long complained about the smell wafting through their community.
Residents say the Coastal Shell shell drying plant creates a stench that causes their eyes, throats, and lungs to burn each night.
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.
