Quick update on the the noisy court case between Mr and Mrs Roper and Alton Towers. I posted a couple of days ago that they were going back to court to try and reduce the 40dB noise restriction imposed on the theme park. The case was heard yesterday and the High Court judge Mr Justice Wilkie has upheld the restriction imposed on the park by Stoke Crown Court. He stated residents must expect some noise from Alton Towers. And rejected the Ropers argument that the Crown Court ruling was "irrational" and the court had "taken leave of its senses".Alton Towers have already mentioned they may appeal against the restriction in an attempt to have it removed altogether. But as their legal bill aleady stands at half a million pounds they may choose to live with the 40dB restriction and only being allowed 3 firework displays a year.
