A couple have come out victorious over a council in a battle over noise pollution after they purchased a house next to a busy dual carriageway. Jackie McCormack and her husband James, splashed £325k on their new dream home in Warwickshire last year but claim they are now unable to open their windows due to noise pollution, reports Coventry Live.
The busy dual carriageway sees traffic thunder past the couples' home at all times both day and night on the route that connects Sutton Coldfield to the M42. They say the sheer amount of cars and lorries on the 70mph A446 road means that pollution and noise is ever present in the area.
Jackie claims the whole house 'vibrates' when vehicles hit bumps in the road near the property, often waking her up in the middle of the night. She says that the property was built 'too close' to the road and someone needs to step up and take the blame.
