• In Vendée, an investigation was opened after the complaint filed by residents of a Fleury-Michon factory several weeks ago.

  • Since the end of September, residents have been denouncing an incessant noise that emanates, according to them, from the comings and goings of trucks which collide on large metal plates recently installed to improve the loading of goods.

  • After an acoustic campaign, the prefect issued an order "to put an end to this significant discomfort at night".

“The acoustic campaign carried out by the operator revealed disturbing noises for the neighborhood.

»At Meilleraie-Tillay, in Vendée, this is a small victory for the residents of the Fleury-Michon factory.

Their complaint filed several weeks ago for noise pollution was heard, after the opening of an investigation, in particular following the media coverage of their situation.

"To put an end to this significant inconvenience at night, the prefect decided by prefectural decree dated October 22, 2021 to temporarily suspend the company's loading and unloading activities on the recently renovated logistics platform docks from 11 p.m. at 6 am ”, writes the prefecture of Vendée in a press release.

Complementary measures

Since the end of September, the inhabitants of this town have denounced an incessant noise, seven days a week, which emanates from the company located a hundred meters from their home. Disagreements caused, according to them, by the comings and goings of trucks which collide on large metal plates, recently installed to improve the loading of refrigerated goods passing through here.

Two solutions are being studied by the company to reduce noise, according to

Les Echos

 : the sound damping of the platform extensions and the construction of a noise barrier to protect residents.

“Additional measurements must also be carried out by the operator over all periods of activity, day and night, warns the prefecture.

In the event of significant deviations from the reference values, additional corrective actions must be taken.
