Points were read out from a newly received report about the noise level and the enclosed map revealed that Meeting Hill falls within the area to claim grants for secondary glazing. It was agreed that it would not be right to complain on behalf of the Daycare Centre, because the MOD would turn around and tell the Centre that they must have been aware of the noise when they started the Centre.
