    It's ten past two in the morning, and they're still out there making a bloody racket :mad::mad: Granted, it's Friday night but some of us work weekends... (ie, moi)

    Does anybody know who/where to send a strongly worded email about this? I'm not normally a moaner, but the works are going on smack bang in the middle of a housing estate - they can't expect people to have to put up with it. I live a row of houses away from it, and the noise is like a loud buzzing; it's too loud for daytime, never mind the middle of the night. I'm very cheesed off right now! :mad:

    the first port of call is straight to the contractors who are doing this work... complain officially in writing to them... and try to get its sorted amicably...

    next...
    there is sometimes a condition included in these types of planning permissions which restricts working hours to certain times, check if there is such a condition.... if there is then focus complaints to the building control section of laois county council. I would investigate this as the second avenue....

    there also may be a situation in which the developers have been granted a license for this out of hours work under an EPA license... this would be highly conditional stressing strict decibel levels to be adhered to.... but in all honest works at 2.10am would never be allowed.... check this next

    see here

    if the noise comes under noise pollution then you need to ring the guards and make a complaint... even if they cannot visit the sit, ask them to log the complaint as evidence in case it went further...

    Thanks for that info, Syd - if it re-occurs, I'll be getting on to them about it! I've heard that it's an 18 month build, and they're what, four or five months in, so there's a while to go yet!

    I heard that the reason that they were working so late was that they had poured concrete that day and had to keep working through before it set. Hopefully that's the end of the late nights!

    Hopefully!! T'would have been nice of them to stick a few notes in doors if they knew they were going to be working all night, but there you are!

    I couldn't believe it! After me saying that I thought it might be the last of it. I think I might have jinxed it :(
