I presume what they’re aiming for is a South Yorkshire version of York!
Plus you will still get that stale urine smell from the weir.

Further upstream is the sewerage works which is allowed to discharge waste untreated water directly into the river during “ exceptional conditions” which is fairly often. The aeration effect of the weir releases the smell.
