Ongoing noise pollution form local dairy: they should be closed down

For more than ten years Liberal Democrat councillors have seen the northern party of Southfeld Chswick suffering from the dairy producing near constant noise pollution through the night caused by a range of reasons including vehicle movements and heavy plant equipment operating.

Many of their vehicles or vehicles that enter or leave their site with collections of milk or the raw materials block some of the roads nearby to the dairy. Again they flout the rules making sure they use loopholes to evade justice.

The dairy creates more noise than a group of cows
I have welcomed the hard work by a local residents’ association who have campaigned on the issue to press the Council to take action when often they appeared not to be too interested.

In addition to that more recently a hole was created in the roof to cool down the factory since it produces so much milk for the space that the company operates on the site. In essence it is far too big for this location which is surrounded by residential homes.

The behaviour of the directors is very poor as they must know the harm they are causing by children and adults not being able to sleep properly. Some people have moved out of the area because of the issue.

When the Council finally turned down an after-the-event planning application to allow the hole in the roof, Freshways appealed meaning that they can operate until another court case comes down against them.

It is just another delaying tactic their lawyers and Freshways use.

My view is that Ealing Council and other local authorities should have the power to close down companies like these once they repeatedly fail to adhere to the rules. Also we need to stop directors from operating in the future.
