One thing that puzzles me is the fact that there is any noise at all from Tilbury docks, when I used to go there I could spend anything up to two days in queues of trucks over two miles long as the lazy buggers would rarely do any work. |

Well the tannoys were going off at 6.30 this morning and I've heard the fog horns many times when going to bed....there might not be any need for it but I won't complain about it unless it grows or becomes significantly louder. You're welcome to come over and hear the noises if you want to Tim!

Doesn't look overly restrictive to me. Probably a senisble move by Palmer and MSV.

Apart from th quiet days for which I don't know what was already in force concerning them, it looks no different to what has been happening for the past few years.

Yet no matter how much support Combe had drummed up with many thousands of e-mails and letters not only from fans of motorsport at combe but also local business like pubs,hotels etc this minorty or NIMBYS as they are known overulled every body else for the sake of just 2 noisey weekends a year but its nothing new at least the council decided the circuit could run at 108dba so this meant the end of international racing. Even though i was pleased the council agreed that 108dba was not too intrusive so racing can continue its just a shame its only at club level! If this happend at brands i feel that would have been the end of the circuit! i just hope in the future the nimbys voice doesn't get any louder as then the trouble will start. |

This looks very similiar to the restrictions applied to Snett which had to be implemented before the planned development of the circuit and creation of the Motorsport Business Park. Circuits must be seen to be acting to control the noise, as mentioned the small minority of NIMBY's can get their way at times, but it does look like local councils are working with MSV to ensure all these circuits have a viable future and Mr Palmer can continue with his excellent work in bringing the circuits up to the 21st century standards. 118bd is a workable limit plus the additional un-silenced days, which as local Snett resident we are now informed when these days are so to give the NIMBY's a chance to go to the coast on those days and complain about the noise of the seagulls!!!

In fact I'm surprised how many class 2 and 3 race meetings they are allowed - I actually thought it was less than that already. In that I am assuming that the term race meeting covers the entire event, ie Fri, Sat, Sun for the biggies..... Another example of MSV looking to, and planning for the future. Far better to be ahead of the curve, so well done to JP and MSV for helping to safeguard the future of motorsport at my favourite venue |
