HC Deb 10 November 1989 vol 159 cc792-3W
Mr. John D. Taylor

To ask the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland what complaints he has received from residents at Saintfields road and Ivanhoe avenue in connection with the manhole cover at 590 Saintfields road, Castlereagh, relating to the distress arising from the noise caused by traffic travelling over this cover; what steps he has taken over this matter in 1989; and if he will consider the re-location of the manhole and cover so that it is in the centre of the traffic lane.

Mr. Peter Bottomley

We received one complaint. We acted to solve the problem. We are pleased to have received a further letter which ends: "I am most grateful to you for having this complaint attended to so quickly and efficiently". I have passed the praise to those who do the work. It would not be feasible to relocate the manhole as this would involve the realignment of the sewer.
