I've been dealing with a few different issues about noise and disruption from roadworks and builders. Here's a quick update on a couple of matters:
The National Grid/North London Gas Alliance roadworks around the Belsize Rd roundabout are scheduled to be finished by 16th July. I've got council officers to check with National Grid today, and it seems it is on track and work should be finished next week.
I have taken up with Network Rail complaints about nighttime noise and lights as part of the emergency wall repair works around South Hampstead station, which have been going on for some months. Of course there is some need for night working given the fact this work is close to the railway lines, but there should be closer liaison with residents and much more consistent consideration for the disruption they are suffering.
We've also been asked about builders working at the weekend, in Aberdare and in Goldhurst for example. The position is clear - building work should be limited to 8-6 on weekdays and 8-1 on Saturday, with no working on Sunday. Anyone who wants to work outside these hours needs to apply to Camden Building Control with clear justification of the need for this. So if anyone sees work outside these hours, they should contact building control via http://www.camden.gov.uk/ccm/content/contacts/council-contacts/environment/contact-building-control.en
or drop a line to us as ward councillors.

The new roadworks were on top of a very newly finished upgrade of the triangle between the roundabout and the zebra crossing on Belsize Road towards Kilburn. When I asked why they were ripping up recently finished work I was told that Camden were fully aware of the wasted effort but it was 'on their plan and they were going ahead anyway'
