I live in Essex and yes we do have an emergency siren in our town but I haven't heard it being tested for many years. I suppose it still works!

I live in London and before the erection of the Thames Barrier, they used to test a siren every Saturday morning. Since the Thames Barrier has been in existence, I haven't heard it but I guess it is still there.Peace.

we live just west of Edinburgh and we had an air raid siren in the village and it was tested every 2 years.then in the 80s the government took them all down saying what was the point of giving us a 3 min warning the a nuclear strike was imminent
it would just cause panic.

I live in Berkshire UK and near to Broadmoor and that siren goes off every Monday at 10 am. If it goes off at any othertime it means that a patient has escaped

The National-Union believes that more power should be placed in the local governments and State governments because these governmental bodies can effectively stablize the atmosphere for their residents. The National-Union believes that every local government should have an emergency fund to prepare residents for disasters with transportation, insurance, and accommodations, http://www.voteprimous.com
