Neighbours living next to a 'nightmare' building site in Bedminster have claimed Bristol City Council is “turning a blind eye” to their complaints.
Residents of Brendon Road and Mascot Road say they have faced months of builders making their lives a misery, with frequent foul language, damaging trees and garden walls, leaving the street muddy and slippery, and even throwing stones at each other and damaging parked cars.
Yet despite several residents complaining many times to the council, little action appears to have been taken by enforcement officers, whose jobs are to prevent problems like these. Local councillors also questioned the “lackadaisical attitude” within the planning department.
