Early worms get the bird
June 21st, 2008 by iannimmosmithI have received complaints that the sewer construction works at the top of De Freville Avenue and in Chesterton Road at the beginning of May started at an unreasonably early hour and went on till late.
The work is to connect the sewer for new housing being built along Sandy Lane. When finally (six weeks later) goaded to respond, the County Council’s highways personnel have shown a very unconcerned attitude. Not only did they fail to respond to complaints at the time, but they have been unable to date to tell residents or me if there are standard hours of operation for this kind of works. That would certainly be the case if the activity were controlled by planning consent like the works in Sandy Lane.
It seems that considerateness is low down on the list when it comes to works in the highway.
