‘It’s disgusting, it’s not right’ – anger halts piling work, but disruption could last another year<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

RESIDENTS on Bute Street have suffered noise and disruption day and night during work on Transport for Wales\u2019s new South Wales Metro project.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Roadworks during the day overlapping with loud piling at night has meant that locals have had 24-hour periods of on-and-off noise.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Margaret, 67, has a disabled granddaughter who was woken up at 2am by piling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s disgusting, it\u2019s not right,\u201d said the grandmother, who does not want her full name used.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The worst thing is that noise and disruption are compounded, with so many works going on at the same time, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s not so bad when the piling stops but then the diggers start again at 7.30am.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The noise of the piling was measured at over 100 decibels on the street where they live, using a high-quality microphone and a noise level app. This is the equivalent of being on a subway train. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
