• You can no longer visit your local park owing to the smells coming from neighbouring intensive poultry units.
• You can no longer enjoy your angling rights because of pollution.
• The home or business that you own or rent has been impacted by sewage pollution, such as by leaks of sewage directly on to your land, into a waterway adjoining your land or by noise from service tankers responding to major spills.
