Leeds City Council Progress

Below is an email sent to City Island Residents Group from Elaine Saul, an Environmental Helath Technician from Leeds Council. It basically backs up what we have already achieved, but will add a bit of incentive to the contractors to keep to their word if both the council and CIRG are watching them.

If the contractors aren't keeping to their word regarding noise (see earlier post below, "Progress!!!") then let us know at CITYISLANDLEEDS@GOOGLEMAIL.COM or ring the council your self and start hassling Elaine!

Dear City Island Residents Association,

I recently received a copy of an e-mail that has been forwarded to our department regarding noise from the City Island (Phase 2) construction site prior to 8am on a morning. On that e-mail 4 residents were named as being affected. I have spoken to Mr **** **** (one of the residents on the list) who informed me that residents had already been contacted by representatives from David McLean (the Construction Company involved) and that they have agreed not to start work onsite till 8am.

I have also discussed the matter with Mr Sean Brind (the Project Manager) at that company and I have agreed to send him a copy of our Code Of Practice for Construction Work, a copy of which I will also send to Mr ****.

In order to further investigate the nuisance should residents continue to be disturbed prior to 8am it is necessary for evidence to be recorded by those affected. I have also sent a nuisance diary to those residents whose names and addresses were provided which must be completed and returned to myself if the disturbances continue.

Please call 0845 124 0113 should you wish to register any new complaints.

Yours sincerely
Elaine Saul Environmental Health Technician
