HC Deb 09 February 1972 vol 830 cc362-3W
58. Mr. Pavitt

asked the Secretary of State for the Environment if, in the light of the action of the Brent Borough Council in securing an injunction preventing the use of pile-driving machinery, he will. as a matter of urgency. revise the contracts given for the building of the Neasden Underpass to secure relief from noise and nuisance for those still resident in the vicinity; and if he will make a statement.

Mr. Peter Walker

The Council have neither applied for nor obtained an injunction. However, the method of pile-driving which caused complaints has ceased and arrangements have been made for a quieter system to be used. I much regret the inconvenience caused to residents while roadworks are being carried out.
