AFTER reading comments by Jill Kirby (Our headache, Gazette Opinion, August 16) it left me feeling I had to put pen to paper.

I thoroughly agree with all the comments made by this lady.

I live in Victoria Road, Stanford-le-Hope and since these roadworks have been ongoing, with the so-called minimum disruption, we have had cars, windows and window sills smothered in thick dust.

This is not to mention what we and our grandchildren are breathing in – we never had any of this until the building works started.

I have been on to the environmental health department, which does not really want to know.

I have never seen a water bowser where the digging is to dampen down the dust.

We have to keep our bedroom windows open due to the heat and we can hear the noise going on during the night – this has got to the point where I feel I want to move.

So much for the minimum disruption.

MR LEE Victoria Road, Stanford-le-Hope.
