Media reaction to the Port Noise Meeting

There’s been some media reaction to the meeting yesterday.

Radio Suffolk and Town 102 both publicised the event.  Here is the Mark Murphy show that has me (24 minutes in) and Matthew Ling of the Environment Services (1 hour 37 minutes in)

We also got a write up of the meeting from the Evening Star:

The meeting was packed

They estimated about 100.  I’d say it was closer to  (actually slightly over) 150, having done church attendance counting almost every week for the last four years.  Still packed.

It’s such a shame that the Labour supporter Chris Ward had to put in such an ignorant response:

The docks were there well before the high-rise eyesores – why anyone would want to buy a property and live there is beyond me. Those who bought properties around that area should have done their research and homework beforehand rather than sitting in their offices in London and speculatively buying – I’m afraid I have no sympathy.

It’s such a shame that this happens just after Labour councillor Richard Kirby seems to have been brought into line (he was one of the councillors who attended the public meeting).
