the other day has prompted me to write to air a grievance.
I live about half a mile away from the recently-opened Bridgnorth bypass. At any time after around 4am, if I happen to wake, I invariably hear the noise from empty open trucks making their way to the quarries on Wenlock Edge. Every slight undulation in the road
surface produces a bang. And to be in Much Wenlock town in late afternoon makes one fully aware of the noise pollution that the residents have to put up with as quarry-based vehicles return to their depot.
Is it not time that the manufacturers of these vehicles tackled this anti-social feature of their product?
