GRAVEL PITS & HOMES ARE A POOR MIX

Today's K-W Record has the headline "More monitoring for noise agreed to on gravel pit site". This particular pit is on the edge of Cambridge and within 210 metres of residential housing. Although Cambridge Council would not formally object to the pit they did at least indicate their non-support for it. Cambridge Aggregates have agreed to increased noise monitoing and the planting of larger trees as noise buffers.
