A DEFENDER of legitimate Its of our heavy vehicles to their trade on our roads for benefit of the community at le. I am surprised by the fly insidious attacks on heavy 'ides. Alas, I fear we never wer back enough.
his week, I was aghast to find county paper carrying a vs story in which it is claimed t "sooty fumes from gernauts have been sucked the air supply of
ilmsford's learner swimming O." So councillors were told. ,pparently the corrosion blem is so bad that repair -k costing £5,250 has been t,timended. Councillors were Hmed at their meeting "that problem was partlycaused mge lorries parking close to swimming pool wall." gain I quote: "Drivers kept lines running all night, cking out sulphur dioxide I soot in their exhaust fumes ch was drawn into the air Ike to the baths." From there, said that it got into the air ification system and
ected around heating coils. he Assistant Technical rtroller and Architect to the hority concerned explained E the coils were a vital rent in providing heat and :o prevent condensation. le system is not working perly" he explained cause of the high level of lospheric pollution revealed ndependent lab checks." re-heating coils were found pe corroded by chloride and )hate atmospheric pollution sing severe blockage of the ce between the heat hanger fins.
seems heavy lorries are -tg blamed publicly — albeit partly". Never a great one at mistry, I do seem to recollect : chlorine is frequently used ools, and as for "sulphate lospheric pollution" — well
— the world is a big place. Incidentally, the pool was opened in April 1982.1 must bow to the evidence of the experts, I suppose, but I'm not partly convinced.
