Meeting of the BDL Board and Residents Thursday 7pm in the clubroom
A brief synopsis of the main points
1 The vibrations will not damage the structure of the Dock
2 BDL do not have the financial means to “take Fairview to court”
3 The new scheduling and shroud has dropped the noise by around 10dB which ensures compliance with the planning regulations
4 Fairview will pay small claims by residents with good evidence of loss.
5 The board has not accepted the £1000 donation for our Xmas illuminations
6 Fairview chose the cheap option which has resulted in the activity taking more time and money..
Issues still unclear
1 The extent of Hounslow Council monitoring
2 Why Hounslow Council does not insist on Considerate Contractors' compliance
3 When will we see the information from the monitoring post
4 Was the positioning of the monitor correct?
5 How long the pile driving will continue
6 How can we prevent unreasonable disturbance as the construction continues along the north bank of the River Brent?
7 How we can support those wishing to claim personal loss.
