Resident Update Submitted 04/09/2010

It does not appear as though CB Freezers is making any attempts at mitigating the noise. Leaving refrigerated trailers to cycle on and off all weekend long, loading and moving trucks and trailers, disrupting the peace within our house, does not demonstrate any measure of respect for the residents who share this neighbourhood. Although we have been assured by the office of the Minister of the Environment that CB Freezers, and the City of Quinte West, are working to resolve the noise issue, our weekend was disrupted once again.

John Williams has decided to run for mayor of Quinte West once again. I understand that Mr. Williams campaign is based on attracting new employers to the Quinte West area. I wish Mr. Williams would place as much emphasis on the people who live here. Jobs are important, but what about the workers? I am a worker. My husband is a worker. What good are we when we are so tired, stressed and worn that we cannot function properly? I have asked Mayor Williams for help, I have begged, my health has been affected as a direct
result of the noise issue, yet the bombardment continues.

I sincerely hope that the sound assessment done in May will result in positive action for the other residents here. I hope that everyone keeps their word and that this issue will be resolved. For us, it's too little too late and although it may not be much, we're taking our tax dollars elsewhere.
