Family forced to move by 'rotten' smell outside home

Michael Cowhig, 36 and originally from Whiston, moved to Picton with his wife as renters a decade ago, buying their house after eight years. They love having everything they need on their doorsteps, with The Mystery park and a sense Picton is "thriving again" thanks to community initiatives.
