Residents living in the vicinity of Salisbury Plain are ‘likely to have their sleep disturbed’ by military training that is due to take place until the early hours of the morning.
A large-scale exercise is taking place in the Warminster area, with live firing expected after the usual times – with loud bangs to be heard until around 2.30am on Monday (24 April).
In a statement, a spokesperson for Salisbury Plain Training Area (SPTA) said: “The final iteration of extended late night firing will take place on Sunday and be completed no later than 0230hrs on Monday.
“We always attempt to be good neighbours to the general public in managing noise pollution however operational requirements occasionally dictate that training units have a requirement to live fire beyond normal firing times.”
