New-build homes are turning lives into a nightmare
Posted: Wednesday, May 10th, 2023
Residents have been left fuming after complaining about new-build homes that have turned their lives into a nightmare, The Sun reported. Unhappy locals in Bestwood, Nottingham, claim that builders have been blocking their driveways and causing a racket. Peter Walker, who has lived in the area for 18 years, said the works are becoming a "nightmare" for the community. The 59-year-old told NottinghamshireLive: "None of the residents are happy. "They keep blocking access to residents' driveways. It is becoming a nightmare." Peter, who is a construction site manager himself, continued: "They are not supposed to work before 8am and after 5pm. This is a residential area. "There is no consideration, no respect for the residents. They do not seem to care. I heard the lorries at 6.30am. They started the plant before 8am. And it is just getting worse. Traffic jams outside. "I am thinking about selling off because I had enough and they are going to be here for another year." The works on the site are being carried out by Lovells. Beth Bundonis, Interim Regional Managing Director for Lovell East Midlands, said: “We are aware that a saw was started on site just ahead of core hours of working this week. "We apologise to any residents disrupted and will be putting this in writing as soon as possible. We have reconfirmed the correct core hours to all subcontractors to avoid this happening again.”
