A number of residents have expressed some distress at the pile driving across the road at the Feethams North development. Yes, in a building of this type and scale on the banks of the Skerne, driving piles was inevitable, so it appears that we will have to bear it with sanguinity.
Today, I have emailed the developers to make them aware of the issue. Here is a copy of my letter.
"South Terrace residents (residents off Feethams South) have been, and still are supportive of the Terrace Hill development at Feethams. Indeed we submitted a joint representation in support of it at the planning stage.
Pile driving has however been a big concern to quite a number of them - a task that we know is essential for the development. The problem has been one of both noise, and vibration throughout our homes here.
I wondered whether you would consider offering our 25 homes here a pair of complimentary cinema tickets by way of recognition of the inconvenience? I sense it would be appreciated as a neighbourly gesture.
Stephen Twist, President of the South Terrace Residents Association."
