The source of a mystery oil leak that plagued a market town with fumes for the past week has been found, Shropshire Council has said - but residents say the stench is still lingering.

Fire crews said the fumes were caused by a heating oil supply leaking into a property and they had stemmed the source of the leak.

“It's following through drains and into someone's cellar, it's ending up in the drainage system and ultimately, in the watercourse.She said Butler and Finnegan had lost five days of work over the leak and was only taking on emergency patients. A spokesperson said: “Officers from the Environmental Protection Service at Shropshire Council are aware of reports of a kerosene type smell in Bishops Castle. Following these reports, two officers visited on Tuesday to try to help identify a cause of the problem.
