airman Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Keith watts has launched a petition which has been submitted to number 10 in an effort to get the government to take action in allowing activities that generate noise, to continue to do so providing that they have been present in a community for a longer period of time than the residents who complain about them.There are increasing cases of new residents moving into a location, then to complain and campaign against activities that have taken place for many years, especially when such noise or should have been obvious before chooing to live in the locality.Keith Watts is proposing a "Grandfather rights" to well established activities and a presumption of rights to continue. This would typically include moving near to a church, only then to complain about the bells, near a airfield, the campaigning for its closure.More details on;- http://petitions.PM.gov.uk/livewithit/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy watson Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 Funnily enough the church bells just up the road were going this evening. I gave the vicar a piece of my mind, I can tell you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
