Noise at bomb testing site to be surveyed after resident petition | This is South Wales: "BOMB testing noise levels in Pendine will be surveyed this summer after Ferryside residents petitioned the UK Government.

Angry residents presented a petition of 250 signatures to Jonathan Edwards MP in March, which he in turn took to Westminster.

Residents in Ferryside and Llangain complained earlier in the year about the noise levels creating vibrations in their homes, with some houses suffering cracked window frames and broken trinkets.

They formed STIFLE (St Ishmael's Fights Large Explosions), an action group campaigning for the testing of the bombs to be redirected away from their homes.

Delme Bowen, a member of STIFLE, said: "It's excellent, I think Jonathan Edwards has done a great deal in being persistent about this request, and a lot of residents like Richard Leverson have delivered the goods on this."
