Thank you for your comment. I have supported Camgrain at a time when food security and food production is of paramount importance to society. Camgrain is a forward thinking company which co-ordinates with agriculture and supermarkets to provide a service and ensure we have a continued supply of food. The noise level is an issue for local councillors to take up, and the site is situated close to a major road, but I do appreciate your concerns.

Many thanks.

Yours sincerely,

Robert Sturdy

I fully understand your support for Camgrain’s new facility, which may well reduce the noise pollution from its Linton site.

I am most concerned at the way it has exploited its 1996 planning permission to quadruple its capacity on the Linton site. You may know that it had a finding against it for exceeding noise limits in 2008, and has reacted with fury to my attempts to draw attention to this anti-social behaviour. I use the term because it dismissed all concerns about noise before I registered an official complaint with the council, and did nothing at all to mitigate what it must have known in advance was going to be a serious problem over the wet summer. I hope it has now taken the steps it agreed with South Cambridgeshire DC to reduce noise levels, and we will see if it has any effect.

With best wishes
