Like a naughty child that when told off behaves worse, just to prove that it can the CEMEX plant on Rufford Street threw a little tantrum this morning. After enforcment visits by their own national environmental compliance team the guys at the plant decided to put on a special show this Saturday morning. One of my neighbours was woken by especially early weekend deliveries of gravel at around 0700 and lots of banging noises. On a Saturday morning. Until we see some demonstrations of good faith from CEMEX we shall continue to increase the pressure. Watch here for next steps, pehaps we shall put them on the naughty step. Thanks by the way for all the supportive emails. We’ll get there in the end…..

Sorry to hear this (no that’s not a pun). I’m a accoustical engineer and have a few concerns about what I’ve heard. I’m sure ou heard the loud banging and beeping from the trucks.
What kind of mic were you using? What preamp? What mixer and what levels? A dB meter would help. I’m not so sure the audio was on your site was an accurate represetation of what was really going on. All of this information would help your case much stronger.
Sincearly trying to help.
