Residents Meet with Scrap Yard to Discuss Issues

On June 9th, 2007, two residents of Westbury Crescent met with Dino Bois from GB Scrap Metal to discuss ongoing concerns regarding noise/bright lights shining in houses/fire concerns and the issue of erecting a 25 foot fence to reduce these problems.

The meeting was productive in that both sides seem to have the same objective. Residents want the noise reduced to an acceptable level so that they are not disturbed and the scrap yard appears willing to work with the community to alleviate their concerns.

We hope that a noise study can be done shortly to determine if their proposed 25 foot fence will help to solve these problems. GB Scrap has said that they will extend the fence along the north side to alleviate noise for residents further north on Westbury. Residents will also to continue meeting with GB Scrap Metal to try to work on solutions as both parties would like to work things out themselves.
