Evening Star hits on the Port Noise

There’s an article, rather unsympathetic, in the Evening Star on the port noise here.

What’s interesting is the response from Southern Cement:

“Up until recently this operation has been ongoing for almost seven years without any apparent problem,” the spokesman said.

“The council did not consider there to be any breach of legislation and has written to local residents informing them of this fact. Southern Cement has been actively investigating ways of minimising perceived noise and we will of course co-operate with IBC should further investigations arise.”

Seven years without a complaint?  Well four years at a smaller scale and then a growing number of complaints that’s shaken up the Bridge and Stoke Park areas of Ipswich.

I’m sure that Southern Cement are actively investigating, but wouldn’t it help if they actually talked to local residents?  That way their efforts would at least be known, and communicated to the local community,

You can comment on the article on their website if you wish.

(By the way we’re still looking for leafletters).
