§ 28. Mr. G. Thomasasked the Minister of Housing and Local Government whether he is aware of the inconvenience caused at Ely, Cardiff, by noise from the Western Welding Company factory; and whether he will make a statement.
§ Mr. PowellMy right hon. Friend has recently agreed to the lease by the Cardiff Corporation of some land on which the company intends to erect a new factory building further away from the houses. The work will then be done under cover, instead of in the open as at present, and matters should improve.
§ Mr. ThomasIs the Minister satisfied that this proposal will eliminate the noise problem for these Ely residents, who at present are having their lives made a misery by this factory?
§ Mr. PowellThe local authority has attached to the planning permission such conditions as it thought necessary to preserve the peace of the neighbourhood.
