Man who lives near Bulwell tram stop says vibration from trams making his house 'rumble and shake'

An 'exhausted' resident living close to a Nottingham tram stop says his mental health has been affected as a result of the trams going past near his home. The complainant has written to tram bosses in which he said noise and vibrations emanating from points along the track from Bulwell tram stop were causing his house to 'shake'.

The allegations and complaints were published in a report released by the Greater Nottingham Light Rapid Transit Committee (GNLRT), which advises the city council on the operation of the tram system. The complainant said the alleged vibrations, at his property south of the tram stop, were causing him to lose sleep.

The man, who hasn't been named, wrote to tram bosses to request that tram speeds are reduced at this location, to mitigate the issue. There were also complaints made about alleged cracks appearing at the property, with fears over house devaluation as a result.
