THE super-rich Getty family has caused a stink with plans to dump a football pitch-size slurry lake next to a village.

       Lady Victoria Getty — widow of billionaire Sir Paul Getty — has been nicknamed “Lady Muck” by locals who are fuming at the scheme for the 600,000-gallon cow poo lagoon.

       The ex-model, 78, wants it to hold 2,300 cubic metres of waste on land in the picturesque -village of Brent Eleigh, Suffolk.

       But cottage owners, a pub and a care home close to the 130-acre farm say it will ruin lives.

       James Davis, landlord of the award-winning Cock Inn, said: “We set up a beer garden at the start of the pandemic and it has been very successful.

       “But I don’t think many people will want to drink outside this summer if they have to sit downwind of a huge slurry pit.”

       And resident Bob Johnson backed him, saying: “Two thirds of the village are within 400 metres of the planned lagoon.”

       Plans have been submitted to Babergh district council by Lady Getty’s farming company Slough Hall Farm.
