The continuing road works to enable the High Street in Lincoln to be pedestrianised from St Mary’s Street to St Mark’s street has been causing unrest for students staying at the Junxion student accommodation.
The work on the East-West Link road that started in November 2014 has progressed to St Mark’s Street where most of the construction work is now taking place, resulting in road closures and excessive noise throughout the day, disturbing nearby residents.
As the work is expected to finish in August this year, it’s causing concern amongst residents that the noise will continue as first year psychology student, Abigail Dolan said “I don’t live in a quiet place anyway but the road works have been really really noisy in the last week or so.”
The work on St Mark’s street has been on going since September and has gradually been getting louder as most of the noise is occurring at “very unsociable hours” around 11:30 at night and 6 o’clock in the morning creating difficulty for the nearby residents to sleep.
