It will come as no surprise that life beside the M1 is “noisy”. Leeds residents have spoken about the measures in place, incorporated into their custom-built new-build estate, to reduce the hum, chug and moan of the traffic on the major motorway at all hours.
There are vents hammered into homes and even a noise-reducing fence so they can bathe in the garden hot tubs while motorists whizz past their estate located on Renison Avenue and Renison Court, beside Temple Point business park in Colton.
It’s home to a “tight-knit” community where people have each other’s backs. Every house seems to have CCTV cameras installed and the road is spotless. The community came together to make the estate parking permitted after workers at the business park began parking their cars across the estate.
