It appears that the City are backtracking on the proposal to crush the waste concrete on site with a machine working 4 hours a day for 5 days a week for 6 weeks with a noise output of between 93 and 102 decibels when the limit that they are supposed to be working to is 75 decibels.

Following a GLERA lead campaign the Project team have thought again and we can breath a sigh of relief that it will not be happening.

We have said all along that we support social housing and a school on the site but we did not support the poor design that they are building. However we accept that it is going to get built and from the point of view of surrounding residents the sooner the better so the the disruption does not go on for too long.

The focus of the project team seems to be getting the project finished on time at all costs and it requires all our vigilance to make sure that they are not doing this at the expense of residents and community relations.
