Does anyone know the rules for commercial builders operating hours? I had it in mind that they weren't supposed to work on a Sunday, but I had a faceful/eyeful of dust from a house on North X Rd that was having it's brickwork cleaned yesterday.

Don't suppose the neighbours were that happy

OK. I suppose the reason is that we'd all like a day off, if there's been building work nearby. And in ED, where isn't there building work? It can really get on one's nerves after 5 days of it. I speak from experience.

And builders need a day off too. Rushed jobs + tiredness = accidents

And it's hard to "rest" with some bloke and a kangol operating next door. I think its to protect our weekends as time to relax and enjoy the garden etc - noise free preferably.


Personally I don't care about the Sabbath - but it is good for society if we coordinate our down time.

As well as the operating hours they are also supposed to minimise the pollution by containing dust. I reckon the fact that we have the third worst death rate from asthma in the EU is partly due to uncontrolled building work, and rules not being enforced, and the builders are not aware of the rules or choose to ignore them until a concerned citizen phones the Council.

    • It has come to this author’s attention that the world of 4+ admissions — that most enigmatic of educational rites — continues to bewilder even the most composed of parents. Fear not. For in a former life, I was not merely a humble observer, but a seasoned educator of over twenty years, and Head of Pre-Prep for a distinguished dozen. Now, with quill exchanged for touchscreen, I have taken to that most modern of salons — Instagram — to dispense guidance, answer frequently whispered questions, and illuminate the shadowy corners of school selection with clarity and calm. Each post bears my signature twist: a blend of insight, levity, and the occasional raised eyebrow. Should you find yourself adrift in the sea of admissions, I suggest you peruse my latest dispatch. It may well be the lifeline you seek. The Delicate Dilemma of the Summer-born 4+ Scholars Yours in solidarity and scholastic savvy, Lord Pencilton  🎩✏️
    • Perhaps Gooseygreeny was not familiar with the wildlife before Gala was imposed on the park, since when its value to wildlife has deteriorated. The Park had never been disturbed before, as the council had respected it as a Site of Importance for Nature Conservation, so only the Common was licensed by them as a site for events. The first time Gala held their event, there was a tree with woodpeckers nesting in it right in the middle of the main field they used and thrushes, blackbirds and great tits nesting within the shrubs and trees immediately surrounding the field. The woodpeckers were thriving on ants from the anthills in the grass. To those of us who used to enjoy watching the wildlife, it was very obviously a Site of Importance for a variety of birds. Despite being accessed by the public and their dogs, it had been relatively undisturbed,  which was one of the main reasons why it was so special and why I have been opposed to the Gala festival being held during the bird nesting season.
    • So dangerous!    Can you be more specific about the road this was in and when you report it?  Maybe there’s some CCTV footage available
