Council issues update on new Kirkby station as neighbours complain of loud noise

Knowsley Council has given an update on the new £80m Headbolt Lane station following complaints that residents were being kept up all night due to noise from construction work.

The ECHO previously reported that neighbours were living with a "nightmare" as work on the new station in Kirkby was being carried out through the night, leaving children "going to school tired" and people being "exhausted" for work. One woman even reported being forced to take some time off work due to not getting any sleep.

Residents were told the upgrades needed to be carried out during the night to avoid disrupting passenger journeys and for safety reasons. But plans have now been put in place to "keep noise to a minimum."
