Excess noise from an HGV

[truck71]

Op, as has already been suggested try speaking to the driver/ site management (they're human after all). If you get a non satisfactory response the most effective route is to contact the Transport Manager for the vehicle operator (if the vehicle isn't liveried visit the site when the vehicle is there- you will find a disc displayed next to the tax disc in the windscreen with the operator number/name on). Reputable vehicle operators will take heed of a constructive complaint and address their driver(s)accordingly. HTH.

Definitely NOT a faggot - just pissed off &

[jamiep]

How do you think your house was built? maybe the fairies flew all the materials to and from the site in total silence?

So basically the OP wants someone to drive a legal vehicle using a public road on a different route as the noise is annoying him? What about the people on the other route? Sorry but this is absolute madness, how many times does a truck come past, maybe 10 times a day at the most?

Really thought OP was taking the mick, but seemingly he is serious. I think the post that said get a life sums it up pretty well, all I can say is if you have time in your life to mither about a HGV making a din for 30 seconds a day on a temporary basis, you're lucky as things otherwise must be pretty rosy!

Sorry, but the OP is being massively over sensitive here, it won't be at unsociable hours, and will last for seconds at a time!

I disagree that I am being over sensitive. It is a bloody menace and even if it does only last seconds at a time I don't want to be subjected to it. I can't imagine what it must be like for anyone, for instance, over the age of 80 - I am 75 and well-pissed off with it.

So you aren't deaf yet then

Probably - the humps weren't there when our house was built IN 1947!!!!!

Sorry, all who think I should get a life, I have one thanks - and yes, it is pretty rosy. I still have all my faculties, am lucky to still be in full time employment, am happy to be alive, regularly count my blessings etc. I also realise, with regularity, that there are many in this world not as happy and otherwise contented as me. But I do reserve the right to get pissed off with what I consider unnecessary noise - and albeit over short durations, this is unnecessary. Come along anyone and witness it.

I see your speedbumps complete with empty tipper lorry, and raise you living outside a central police station.

Great - at last this is veering towards the normal PH humour!!

Yes, Kennington really is nice - but - er - not quite sure where this is going.....

I see your police station and raise to living down the road from "The mad mile"

I'd kill myself. It's the only way to solve a problem as awful as this.

If I can contain myself, I hope that the next post from me will be an update after Tues to report how I'm doing with the advised proposals (PCSO etc)
Peace!

There must be plenty of local PHers with noisy cars to execute a vigil of support past OPs house a few times (per hour)?

[cahami]

Your complaint is with your council,They must have installed the speed mountains, Phone the noise abatement officer and get him round imediately with his team and decibel monitoring equipment(they cant be busy during the day? and you pay there wages council tax an all that) insist that the speed bumps are against your human rights and have them removed asap. And while theyre at it could they re tarmac the village with some of that quiet stuff
(shag pile) i think is what you need oh and dont forget to mention that bloody police chopper as well. Good luck

[martin84]

Go down to the council with some sort of headscarf on and claim the noise from HGV's is insulting to your religion. That should do it.

[Nickyboy]

SO instead of using a road that he would be legally entitles to use you would rather he drove 5 miles out of his way and along a narrow road completely unsuitable for a truck of that size, past other houses just so he doesn't disturb you?

I appreciate it might be a bit noisy but its not like its at 3am and it wont last for ever.

[Digby]

I feel for you.The noise from such things can actually make me jump! I work in and around building sites quite often and the noise is similar to someone dropping half a dozen skips from a rooftop! (no, not the crisps).BANG BANG BANG bang bang...first ramp...BANG BANG BANG bang bang...second ramp..

Ten ramps later..
