LOCALS say they hate their neighbours because they stink out the street and "grease sticks to our car".

       Roger and Sue Mantle have been plagued with the smell of fish for five years after moving into their home in Farnham, Surrey.

       The "excessive smell" from Ocean's 11 chippy has taken over the residential street with homeowners going as far as taking action and complaining.

       Business owners were recently fined ￡5,000 for the foul odour when the local council filed two separate prosecutions last year.

       Waverley Borough Council found the restaurant, which had come under new management, was working to upgrade its kitchen extraction system.

       But Roger, 74, and Sue, 68, who live next door, said nothing has changed and they are consumed by the stench during open hours.

       The couple bought their property 35 years ago and said in recent years it's become unbearable.

       Unable to hang washing out or invite people over, a fed-up Sue said life is now "intolerable".

       She told SurreyLive: "On the bad days it reaches halfway down the road.

       "They’ve constantly got their windows open which are at the top of our garden, if there’s no wind it sits.

       "Life becomes intolerable, it is that bad [and] it’s literally soul destroying. We would like it closed."

       Roger added the "stale fat, oil, grease and fish'' consumes the air, with grease even sticking to their car.

       Alan Crunden, 72, also lives near the chip shop and said it's "depressing" because he has to stay inside his home when the smell gets bad.

       He said: "[It’s] a totally stale, rancid oil smell in the air the whole time. I’ve got a black car and it’s smeared in grease.

       "If that’s what’s happening there, god knows what it’s doing to your lungs. It is pretty foul."

       One resident did say they had noticed an improvement despite it being "nauseating" over the years.

       Ray Pool, 79, told how it can be worse in the hot weather and depends on the direction of the wind.

       A Waverley Borough Council spokesperson said a planning application to sort out the extractors has been submitted by the new owner.

       They said: “The new owner of Oceans 11, who took over the lease at the end of November 2022, has submitted a planning application to put in new extractor units with a high level of odour control, that meet good practice guidelines.
