ANGRY residents are to have showdown talks with rail bosses after claims that electrification
work on the line near their
homes has ‘ruined their street’.
....
But neighbours in nearby streets have repeatedly complained about late-night noise, traffic disruption, and light pollution during the works.
At least a dozen people in Ivanhoe Street claim their houses have suffered structural damage from heavy vibrations caused by piling work.
And residents said they were devastated when trees which screened off the houses from the track and shielded them from noise were ‘ripped up’ last month – reportedly with no warning.
Many have described that as ‘the final straw’ and a residents meeting has been arranged by Yasmin Qureshi MP, and local councillor Jean Gillies to demand answers from Network Rail chiefs.
