A number of residents have contacted us recently about vibrations, dust and other issues from the work being done on the former fire station site in Framwellgate Moor. the new housing development will be started soon once the demolition and clearance has been completed.

We have been working with Environmental Health and Planning, and some dust reduction machinery was brought in. More recently there have been further complaints about vibrations from the work going on.

I have asked officers try and get the developer to install some vibration measuring devices.

It is worth residents taking photos of internal and external walls, ideally with a date stamp on the image in case cracks do appear. The developer and the council do not feel that the works will cause any damage, however it is always better to air on the side of caution.

The sales office for the new site is now open for anyone interested. The estate will be called Aykley View and info can be found at: http://www.betthomes.com/developments/aykley-view
