Hi all,
I have a house in Liverpool that backs on to the m5, recently they have completed our section of the m5 widening. They told everyone they will monitor the noise levels and if the noise levels for a property is over 60 decibels they will install double glazed windows to the affected rooms in your house. My next door neighbour and another house in the street have received the new windows installed in their house, so I rang up and to see what was happening with ours and they said we won't be receiving them as the cutoff is 60db and house house came in at 59db. One decibel is nothing, can you even hear 1 decibel.
Anyway I wrote a letter to the bloke In charge of the noise department and also to our local member of parliament. Roads guy wasnt really helpful but our local member was pretty helpful and actually wrote a letter on behalf of us to mr Duncan Gay the roads and traffic minister, he wrote back to us that we do not qualify for the architectural window treatment.
As I think we are treated unfairly should I take this matter further, if so who should I contact. Do you think I'm wasting my time.
Thanks in advance.
