1st Email regarding Construction
This is the 1st email I sent to the Assitant Site Manager. the senior engineer and the project manager for the construction work taking place for the 2nd phase of City Island:
Hi,
The residents of City Island have formed this group in order to have a voice. Following our first meeting, and from the emails received so far, by far the most complaints are regarding the construction noise.
Unless matters can be resolved we will be contacting the council, and escalating to councillors and MP as necessary, as well as contacting the local press. Feelings are running high, and at our first meeting further actions were suggested such as the comic suggestion of throwing eggs at the builders whenever awoken to a more militant regime of disruptive parking to prevent site access and deliveries – a suggestion which has received by far the most support.
Generally the perception is that
· Work starts at 07:30 or earlier Monday to Saturday inclusive and finishes at about 17:30.
Although many residents wanted quite extreme changes (even I think it's a little unreasonable to ask you to stop building altogether), the general consensus seems to be to ask you to
· Start work an hour later at 08:30 and finish at 18:30, Monday to Friday
· Have a 10:00 start on a Saturday instead of 07:30.
· No work on Sundays and bank holidays
Additionally several people have asked why noisy work, drilling, power saws, hammering, etc. all seem to be done first thing in the morning, and things tend to become quieter from 10:30 onwards? Could these noisy tasks not be done last thing of an evening or later in the day instead?
If you could please respond indicating if any of the proposed changes would be possible, and if not why not, we would be most grateful.
Many thanks.
Regards,
City Island Residents Group.
