The Council Executive today considered the application for the Southern Cement expansion. They were told in no uncertain terms by the Council officers that they could do … nothing. There will be a fuller report in the Evening Star tomorrow, and I can’t do shorthand. Some highpoints:
- Des Pawson put across the case very well, showing damning evidence that dangerous cement dust was being passed through Ipswich already
- Paul West, who hears the noise along with his constituents, and Philip Smart, whose constituents hear the noise, talked for their constituents who are becoming increasingly aware of what is ruining their sleep
- Councillors were very angry with the arrogance and dismissive attitude of Southern Cement and Uniland, and it’s quite clear that if they can do anything to scupper Southern Cement, they will.
- The decision will be made after the public meeting
- The council officers are quite clear that there will be an increase in the number of times that residents will be kept up if they are allowed to expand
- At the end the council leader Liz Harsant said that she was suffering from the noise – something she had kept quiet from everyone
This public meeting is going to be very important. It has changed from Chantry High School to IP City at the top of Wherstead Road.
