Dear all, I would like to gauge with residents please; I find the noise at night when it's still has picked up a notch, in terms of a base tone, and is quite resounding at times. Again it seem very much wind and weather dependent, but is quite a drone, with pneumatic 'undertones' now it seems as well.
In line with James' forwarding of the comments and complaints to the City Health Officer, I would like to suggest for those at all, even slightly aggrieved by this issue to consider contacting Ms Bettie Leedo at the Council on 021 514 4125. Ms Leedo, and her colleague Ms Adonis can also arrange for any affidavits about this to be collected.
