Steve, your topic was to discuss 'Noise Polution' !! You are now comparing the
roads of Headington with the Cowley Road. Have you even been to the Cowley Road
in the evening ? Apart from George Street in Oxford the Cowley Road must be one
of the busiest, noisiest road's in Oxford. It is packed with bars and
reasturants that go on until the early hours of the morning, great for a night
out but I certainly wouldn't want to live there.
As for the noise from the emergency services, I can assure you that when they
go along the cowley road the have their sirens on, as they do in any other
built up area.
I am all for improving our environment where practical. What I don't like is
when people move to an area and then try changing it to suit their needs. If
you buy a house on a busy road you must expect to have noise. Why should the
Emergency Service's have to comprimise themselves, and the population of Oxford
they provide a service for, just becasue it is inconvinient to a few ?
As for June's comment about them 'racing' down the road with 'loud sirens', you
make it sound like they are joy riding...... these people are working, saving
lives. The sirens have to be loud, that's the point June !
