Sent to Bedford Borough Council 4 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 1252449.
Loud multiple bird scarers going off all day every day (from 05:52 today (21/3/18) sunrise time 06:03). Reported at Parish Council but ignored - farmer is on Parish Council. Farmer seems to ignore NFU guidelines and doesn't have any consideration for the impact of this incessant noise on the community.

Bedford Council Environmental dept requested a 14 day monitor which has been done and submitted back to the council. Evidence submitted that the farmer has ignored NFU guidelines on so many points.
Awaiting Bedford Council response.

The council 'lost' my 14 day submission but have now found it and are planning to speak to the farmer. Awaiting feedback

Still awaiting feedback from the council? 3 months now. Thankfully the explosions have stopped now (mature crop?) but I dread an autumn or winter planting again next year.

Council officer went to farm but no one was there and a dog was loose so no action. Noise stopped for a while but has now started up some mornings (from 04:40 on 7th July).
