The PA was overly loud and clearly audible in Belle Vue on both afternoons and the fireworks were like an artillery barrage. Lots for the Residents Association to get worked up about I would have thought, but then the gentrified Horticultural Society and their lapdogs at council HQ can do pretty much what they like. Don’t forget the Quarry is only ours when they let it be..oh!..and DO remember that your council tax is due on Monday the 31st – promptly.

We could hear it Cound near Cressage but who cares only two days a year, I just hope next year the same levels of sounds are allowed for the concerts in the quarry. Turn it up I say so we can all hear and it might also remind us all there is life in Srewsbury so get out and enjoy it !!!!

Well done to the organisers for such a fantastic event. It is events like this that puts Shrewsbury on the map and brings people in from out of town. Surely certain people can put up with a little bit of additional noise and traffic for 2 days a year for the benefit of the town and the local economy. I think the PA was excellent, a vast improvement on previous years, and added value to the band and choir performances and the brilliant fireworks display.

Bigbeast is only pointing out that we have a lot of hypocrites in Shrewsbury who have never complained about the noise of the Flower Show nor Opera singing like Katherine Jenkins nor perhaps Jools Holland but something more to the taste of the younger generation held in the Quarry is keeping babies awake, giving the elderly blinding headaches, lowering the grey tone of the town etc etc!!
