Shropshire Council has apologised to people living nearby who’ve complained about the noise, which has been caused by survey work for the planned Shrewsbury North West Relief Road.
Plans for the Shrewsbury north west relief road have proved controversial and attracted hundreds of objections from people living nearby
Shropshire Council admitted there had been an "oversight" in not letting people near Shelton Rough, Shrewsbury, know about the disruption.If fully funded and approved, the north west relief road would connect northern and western Shrewsbury. Residents have complained of "weeks of non-stop noise and vibrations" during the council's initial investigation work, according to campaign group Better Shrewsbury Transport.Will Read, whose house borders Shelton Rough, said: "The noise has been horrendous, so bad that it's been impossible to even sit in the garden without getting a headache."
"With the nearby housing development in Bicton Heath currently under construction, it means that there is nowhere for local families to escape for some peace and quiet," she added.
