I’ve previously reported complaints from local residents about increased noise levels, apparently from the straw burning power station.  Since then, it has been suggested that the noise complained about might in fact be from Anson’s coolers rather than the power station.

The council’s environmental health officer has been in touch with the power station and with the Environment Agency who regulate it with regard to noise.  The council has also contacted Anson’s Packaging to request that they check their mechanical plant and take any necessary action to ensure it is not causing excessive noise.

Residents continuing to experience noise which they believe comes from the power station can contact the power station directly on 01353 775600, or failing that, the Environment Agency’s incident hotline on 0800 80 70 60 (state that the potential noise source is an Environment Agency permitted installation in the Cambridgeshire and Bedfordshire area).

Meanwhile, if the noise is from Anson’s, let’s hope a check of their cooling systems resolves the problem.
