A man who lives opposite the construction site for Ashley Down Station has complained about the noise pollution which he said is disturbing his sleep. Work to build the new station is set to continue into 2024 and is taking place on the site of the former Ashley Hill railway station which closed to the public in the 1960s.
Once complete the station will initially be served by trains operating between Filton Abbey Wood and Temple Meads. Overnight works on selected Saturdays are set to continue until Christmas, and in early June 24-hour construction is planned for 16 consecutive days.
David Trew who lives on Station Road has told Bristol Live the work that is currently being carried out from midnight on Saturdays until 7am on Sundays is ‘not acceptable’. He said that he took his concerns to National Rail and the noise complaints team at Bristol City Council but said he has not been provided with any resolution.
