Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the building site
that is
located close to where I live.
The construction of a new shopping centre on the Highway in North Sydney began about three months ago. So far, the old buildings have been demolished, and the new buildings are currently in the middle phase of construction.
The noise created by this
building site is immense and often continues all day, from 7 am until 6 pm. I am working from home at the moment, and I have been finding it extremely difficult to concentrate with the sound of drilling and machinery audible in every room.
I understand that this
new shopping centre is important, but I would like to request that the hours of construction be reduced. If building works took place only after 3 pm on weekdays, this
would significantly improve the situation for me and for others living nearby.
I appreciate your assistance in this
matter, and I look forward to hearing from you with a satisfactory solution to this
issue.
Yours faithfully,
