What's with the cement mixer blocking Sandringham Avenue for ages at a time? All of Saturday (annoying) and again today (has inspired me to write). We were given no warning, the road is a cul-de-sac so nobody can get in or out...

I agree. I was sitting in a queue of 5 cars today at about 12.30pm waiting for 15 minutes for them to make a delivery. Had the driver parked 3 feet closer to the site entrance, all of the cars could have got through a gap and left the road - but this suggestion was met with a shrug & a repeated statement that they'd only be a few more minutes. My husband called the building company to complain and was called back by the site manager. He advised that cement deliveries finish tomorrow (Weds 26th Oct) however he did say that there will be a further NINETY deliveries of materials in the coming weeks as building of the first floor commences! We'll never leave our road again!

It's bad enough that they have taken up one whole side of the pavement with the hoardings and white van parking without prior warning or notice (so the children have to walk in the road unnecessarily or cross our road twice just to get to Tesco) but the fact that they have a blatant disregard for the needs of the residents is quite frankly infuriating. What would happen if someone needed an ambulance? If anyone would also like to contact the Site Manager, please let me know as I have his office & mobile no.
