Bude Boom, answers and action needed – Rogerson
Responding to reports of a loud explosion over the Bude and Holsworthy area, North Cornwall MP Dan Rogerson said that a full investigation of the causes would be necessary.
Local residents are reporting damage to their homes from the boom, which police are speculating may have been the result of Ministry of Defence aircraft breaking the sound barrier.
Commenting, Mr Rogerson said:
"This is clearly of very serious concern to my constituents in Bude, and to people all over Devon and Cornwall.
"We're not yet sure of the cause of this startling event but those whose homes have been damaged will be especially keen to find out.
"I'll be pressing the MoD for answers – and, if necessary, action."
Constituents whose homes have been affected should contact Dan Rogerson on 01566 777123.
