Somewhere near 84 there is a strong "calor gas smell"/propane smell from what i assume are outdoor heaters, it has been constant every night now of winter/cold day, i think there may be a leak or they are not maintaining them correctly. There is not another category to put this under. If it is strong for me several houses down it must be a nightmare for their next door neighbors at night. If this is not a council/safety issue I am sorry for wasting your time.-84 Blakesley Walk, Leicester, LE4 0QL
