I encouraged you to comment on the Evening Star article, so I thought I might as well do the same. This is what I’ve put I’ve said on the site:
If Southern Cement’s accuracy matched their complacency then we would all be a lot better off.
1. They have been going for seven years, but in that time they’ve greatly expanded, taken on new (noisier) equipment and been bought out by a Spanish multinational
2. They have been getting complaints for three years. Implying that these complaints are new seriously misrepresents the whole situation.
3. Council officials ruled on this and not Ipswich Borough Council. Councillors on both sides are far less sympathetic to Southern Cement
4. The Council officials said that they did not have sufficient evidence of statutory nuisance, which is not the same as saying that they thought that Southern Cement were in the clear
Southern Cement seem to be intent on continuing this boycott of talks with sleepless local residents. This harms them because they get no credit for any of the ways they are trying out to minimise the noise. By refusing to talk to their neighbours they are harming their long term business. Not very clever.
