People of Burlington are being disturbed by the sound of bells. Four students from Burlington College of Higher Education are in the bell tower of the 36 and have made up their minds to 37 the bells nonstop for two weeks as a protest against heavy trucks which run 38 through the narrow High Street. “They not only make it 39 to sleep at night, but they are 40 damage to our houses and shops of historical 41 . ”said John Norris, one of the protesters.

“ 42 we must have these noisy trucks on the roads, ”said Jean Lacey, a biology student, “why don’t they build a new road that goes round the town? Burlington isn’t much more than a 43 village. Its streets were never 44 for heavy traffic. ”
