Angry residents promise action

“Well the volume of people – they’re going to have 50 or 60 people – and the hours.

“We look as if we’re going to have about two or three hours sleep per night for about four days in a row and we’re not comfortable with that.”

“They’re also bringing in a lot of equipment – there’s fire engines, ambulance, police cars, taxis…”
