DEAR News Of The Area,
WE live in Sawtell where, like many seaside places, there are a lot of sub-divisions and big houses being built.
Most tradesmen around here are respectful, but why do some tradies have to have loud music and radio noise all the time?
How is Bob Marley reggae blasting out in our street at 7am okay?
How many times do all the neighbours have to ask them to turn it down?
We have shift workers, those working from home, those unwell, BnB renters and young families.
Where’s the respect?
What rights do existing neighbours have?
None apparently.
We sacrifice sunlight, privacy and amenity with most new builds, some of which are up to three storeys high.
May we suggest to City of Coffs Harbour Council that builders pay a bond which is reimbursed if council don’t receive any noise or other complaints by the finish of building.
Regards,
M CHRISTINE,
Sawtell.
