Residents have been offered sleep masks with inbuilt Bluetooth speakers and $100 vouchers to cope with weeks of noisy construction work on the Warringah Freeway.
North shore residents face summer nights filled with the sound of jackhammers and concrete saws as roadworks continue on the Warringah Freeway.
“The anger and distress about the timing is partly due to the extremely short notice and the preponderance of noisy works at night,” she said. North Sydney mayor Zoe Baker said residents were insulted by the offer of sleep masks and vouchers to cope with noisy night roadworks.They have also been warned to expect high noise levels associated with line marking removals and use of asphalting equipment and rollers. There will be moderate noise associated with pumping concrete and the operation of oversized asphalting equipment.
Two sleep masks were left on the doorstep of Graham Maynard’s home in Cammeray last Thursday, although he doubted they would help mitigate the racket caused by contractors. Another Cammeray resident Jon Duggan also took up the offer of sleep masks and the $100 voucher: “We’re a cheap buy-off.” Duggan said he was not happy about the noisy construction work scheduled over summer but added: “At this stage we are not planning on leaving our home and moving elsewhere during the six weeks of noisy work.”
“It’s frustrating that they can organise thousands of construction workers and traffic controllers years in advance, but struggle to give us more than a few days’ notice of when noisy works are happening,” he said.community anger over the removal of more than 800 trees from the Cammeray ParklandsBaker said the council had been advised by Transport for NSW that hundreds of more trees will be removed between Military Road and High Street and reserves along the edge of the Warringah Freeway.
