Port Noise Report from the Port Focus Group
I was at Ipswich Council’s Port Focus group. At one point it was not clear if there were any councillors from Bridge who would be present (Bryony Rudkin did come in later.) I understand that the minutes will be out soon, and I will link to them. Until then there are some pertinent points:
1. Southern [...]

The Port Noise becomes more frequent
Southern Cement were good for a while with very few complaints, and in the last two unloading they’ve created a racket. And they were less than a week apart.
Apparently they’ve been chided for their use of contract labour which changes operators regularly. Looks like they’ve chosen badly this time. If the operator could speak English [...]

What sound proofing?
One thing that is commonly said to the council about the port noise is that the cement hoover has sound proof casing. Can you see it? Me neither.
Now, I’m not saying they weren’t doing anything, but if they only talked to the residents – like just about any similar company does – then they would [...]

The Southern Cement meeting – It’s back on
Well the meeting was cancelled, and now I’ve been told by both the Evening Star and one of the councillors that the meeting between the council and the Noise Action Group is back on.
There will also be a meeting between Southern Cement and councillors. Of course what would be best for both sides would be [...]

Southern Cement – the media take an interest
I got a call this afternoon from the Evening Star about the Southern Cement fiasco. They’ve got wind of the council officers’ proposed climbdown and wanted to know what the Noise Action Group thought. They actually sounded angry, I suppose they got a promise out of Steve Rock who saw fit to cancel the meeting [...]

Uniland SA: At least they’re showing some interest
I was going through my statistics today and noticed the search Ipswich Noise Abatement Group (this blog comes first). I rarely take these things that seriously but I thought I’d find out who’s looking at this, from the web address 80.34.174.215, and what do you know, it’s owned by Telefonica de Espana.
Looking further it seems [...]
