Sirens at 21:40


Recommended Posts

I heard the sirens too, police vans (don?t know how many) sped down Underhill - it all sounded rather urgent and had me look out the window..


And yes - a siren will mean something urgent - but it seemed like a lot of sirens all at once..

Didn't it.. ??


I have Very good double glazing and keep my windows closed at night.


I'm used to Sirens and Aircraft. I just do not take any notice of them any more.

Fire engines used to excite me when I was 5 y/o.


Must people grow out of it.


Still get off on the Sound of Distant Thunder..

My partner and I were sitting in the garden, and we both heard and commented on the sirens.


It is very usual to hear one or two, not so many at once.


I thought we would hear of some local incident the following day.


I doubt if we would have heard anything if we had been inside the house, so I'm a bit bemused as to why anybody would say there weren't any sirens just because they didn't happen to hear them!

    • Because the council responsible for it is far-left....   And you haven't answered whether it is worth diverting emergency vehicles because a few cars drive through the LTN and why some lobby groups have been so desperate to close it to emergency vehicles.    Emergency services hate non-permeable junctions as they lengthen response times....f you remember it's why the council had to redesign the DV junction because emergency services kept telling them they needed to be able to drive through it...but the council resisted and resisted until they finally relented because the emergency services said their LTN had increased response times....sorry if the truth gets in the way of a good story but those are facts. The council was putting lives at risk because they refused to open the junction to emergency services. Why? What could have been the motivation for that? So, in fact, it was the emergency services who forced the council (kicking and screaming) to remove the permanent barriers and allow emergency services access. So the council finally opened the junction to emergency services and is now coming back to re-close part of the junction.  Why?  Perhaps you should be asking who is lobbying the council to close the junction or parts of it or why the council is happy to waste so much of our money on it - who are they representing as even their own consultation demonstrated they did not have support from the local community for the measures? The results showed the majority of local residents were against the measure...but they are going ahead with them anyway.   In time, I am sure the truth will come to light and those rewponsbile will be held accountable but you have to admit there is something very unusual going on with that junction - its the very definition of a (very expensive) white elephant.
