Subject: Noise from UK Docks yard River Drive
Mr Burrell
I have sent an official complaint to STC re unacceptable noise from yard since 08:00 today, Tuesday 2 Feb.
Consisting of: sudden and reverberating loud bangs of what sounds like metal being dropped; constant grinding of metal; loud hammering; and rumbling of a forklift truck shifting stuff around the open yard.
Exactly the reasons we gave to – and were ignored by – the planning committee yesterday.
The noise issues need: a consistent (ie for 24/7 for the minimum of a month) to show the environmental impact on the residents. Not some statements from the interested party who is anything but impartial! – on what is happening now, and therefore how a site expansion would exponentially increase the noise.
Can we apply common sense to this please?

Dear Mrs R~~~~~~
Thank you for your email, your complaint has been noted on file and I plan to visit UK Docks tomorrow to discuss their current operations and will advise the site manager that complaints have been received regarding current activity.
On the 25th November I sent Mr R~~~~~~ diary sheets, please could you complete these diaries as and when you are affected by noise from the site.
Kind Regards
Kevin
