Hove Park Smell Leaves Residents Whiffed Off

Residents are confused and experts are in disagreement at the smell that is lingering over Hove Park.

If you go down to Hove Park today, you’ll be sure of a big surprise. A strange smell is lingering in the air leading scientists to believe there may be something buried under the grass. Other experts have hypothesised that there may have been a leak from an under ground sewage pipe that has seeped into the small section of the park under the grass surface.

If there is a leak, expert have said that the damage to the environment would be very minimal.

“At worst, a few worms and slugs may perish,” said Mark Farley from the Nature Prevention Department at Sussex University.

Fortunately, because of the cold weather, the smell is not being made worse by any humidity in the air. However, homeowners trying to sell properties in the area at present are having to insist that the smell is only temporary and not a permanent feature of living in the area.

Residents have been complaining of the smell for the past few days but it has now risen to fever pitch and suspicion is rife in the air, along with the smell. Residents have been using the hashtag #Hoveparksmellslike and posting their thoughts.

The response goes to show, it’s all fun and games until people get bored of the hashtag.
