At yesterdays Planning Committee meeting public assurances were given by Mr Ian Rutherford, Principal Environmental Health Officer, STC that complaints re noise, pollutants and any issues the public have re environmental and public safety from the work at UK Docks site would be thoroughly investigated and enforcements would be put in place wherever they were needed.
This morning I have emailed them regarding the continuing noise of steel being worked on in the open air, I have been reporting this since last Thursday. I urge everybody to register their complaints by email or in writing (not by phone) as often as you have one.

the officer dealing with complaints is Kevin Burrell Kevin.Burrell@southtyneside.gov.uk
To Kevin Burrel
I understand that you are dealing with complaints about UK Docks.
I wrote previously to complain that plastic sheeting from UK Docks had tangled with the barbed wire on the top of their fence and this was very unsightly. This has been a problem has been for some weeks and up to the present date no one has removed the tattered plastic sheeting.
As the problem borders my property in Harbour View I would request you investigate.
