Restrict build noise where construction is within 50 meters of inhabited houses
Protect the mental health and well being of residents who have no respite from building noise by restricting noise before 0700hrs and after 1700hrs weekdays, before 0800hrs and 1300hrs Saturdays; and all day Sunday.
As the Government wishes to support the Mental Health of its people, it is counterproductive when construction noise is continuous. It is understood that the Government wishes to relax the restriction on the Construction industry, however, this does not support those who have to reside next to these building sites and as such increases stress, anxiety and depression.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Under the Control of Pollution Act 1974, specifying how construction work is carried out, the hours when work can take place and setting a noise limit is a matter for local authorities and not the Government or House of Commons.
If you are concerned about noise from construction, or would like you local authority to change the hours when construction is permitted in your area, should contact your local authority about this.
