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:

Breaking News: Southern Cement want to make the noise worse

Thank you to Henry Cooper and Des Pawson who sent this through:

I’ve transcribed the announcement below:
Evening Star, Thursday, July 30, 2009

So hidden in plain view is a very important fact, Southern Cement- the people causing misery for all those people in the Hayes, in the Maidenhall Estate, on the Wherstead Road and in Chatsworth Crescent, is in fact the British subsidiary of Uniland [...]
