Subject: noise levels

Dear all,
The first vessel for repair arrived at the UK Docks site yesterday afternoon. As you will all be aware from the original planning consent the shed was given permission as an enclosed structure, and you will all see that this is not the case. The noise level this morning is not acceptable and the fact that the pollutants being produced from the work is not being contained is also unacceptable. I have emailed Ian Rutherford (Jan Bostocks boss) at Environmental Services this mooring to complain and ask that he sends officers to monitor things immediately. I would suggest that anyone else feeling the same as I do this morning emails Ian Rutherford at southtyneside.gov.uk. We have strength in numbers.
Regards,
Melanie
