AS residents of Dalguise Grove, we were near and hence vulnerable to the obnoxious odours given off for many weeks during the digging work on the former car park/gas works site.
My wife suffered particularly, starting with a croaky voice and then losing her voice completely for four days. I know of other nearby residents who suffered around the same time.
We now understand that the former Transco site is also proposed to be developed for residential dwellings in a similar manner.
In view of the effects of the digging on the gas works site, my wife and I are opposed to this proposal. There is a nursery school on the edge of the site. Surely these children are at great risk?
Support on this issue from the Evening Press would be appreciated. However, if the development must go ahead then guarantees of protection from excess noise, odour and other pollution must be given to local residents plus a timetable of the works.
