AS a resident of Witton for nearly 30 years I would like to say the noise we had to put up with on Saturday August 19 was horrendous.

It went on non-stop for six and a half hours.

We have the noise from the fair, but it is nothing compared with that.

As for Councillor Whalley saying the noise was not excessive, I bet he doesn't live in Witton.

If the council gives permission for these venues, surely they should be down there to monitor the noise.

The people of Witton don't mind the park being used, but surely we should be allowed a little consideration and be able to go in our own gardens on a nice day.
