Our neighbour’s slurry spreading is ruining our new country idyll. Can we make him stop?
The stench is unbearable and while I don’t want to cause bad blood, is there anything we can do?

Query: Dear Mary Frances, my family and I moved to the countryside during the whole Covid madness, and we’re loving the rural life. The only hiccup is that our house is right in the middle of farmland and our neighbour, a farmer, has been spreading slurry pretty close to our home.
The smell is unbearable, to the point where we had to pack up and leave for a few days just to catch a breath, literally.
