This is welcome of course but what we need is action!! I note that this time last yr the council said it was working on a noise strategy on its website - this problem (like many others) has been around for some time!Glenn Vowleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02392000659876958930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36190173.post-70071213546174747152008-02-17T10:04:00.000+00:002008-02-17T10:04:00.000+00:00BCC is working on a noise strategy at the moment. ...BCC is working on a noise strategy at the moment. It is likely to be published in March. Bristol has also pioneered noise mapping and is one of only two local authorities in the UK to have its own noise map for road and rail noise.<BR/><BR/>The next step is a noise action plan (for road noise). BCC has been negotiating with its neighbouring authorities about how this will be developed. DEFRA have indicated that they they will fund development of the action plan, but the funding mechanisms and amount have not yet been agreed.<BR/><BR/>DEFRA are required to submit noise action plans to the EU commission by July 2008 for all UK major cities.<BR/><BR/>www.bristol.gov.uk/noisemapSteve Crawshawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02637210923098975720noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-36190173.post-85960404198978709362008-02-13T20:28:00.000+00:002008-02-13T20:28:00.000+00:00A very timely piece.Living in Easton for the last ...A very timely piece.<BR/><BR/>Living in Easton for the last 30 years, I've noticed a definite increase in traffic noise from the M32. At one time in the wee small hours traffic noise used to die out completely: it no longer does.<BR/><BR/>The racket kicked up by the emergency services is also very intrusive too, particularly the macho numbskulls that make up today's so-called police 'service'. They seem to think it's perfectly acceptable to thunder out of Trinity nick onto completely empty roads with sirens blazing and giving passing pedestrians such as myself coronaries. Muppets.<BR/><BR/>Rant over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
