Residents of a Bristol cul-de-sac have described the “soul-destroying” experience of living next to a building site for three years while a new housing project was being built. Plans for an eco-housing development in Kings Weston, which includes 33 new homes, was approved by Bristol City Council back in 2018.
Building work on the Water Lilies scheme began in the Spring of 2020, with the first phase due to be completed by the summer of 2021. But the scheme faced delays in part due to a shortage of building materials caused by the covid pandemic and Brexit.
And the delays have only added to the difficult experience nearby residents have suffered as a result of the construction work. Laura Bricklebank, who lives near to the site off Alderdown Close, told Bristol Live she had experienced problems with traffic, noise and mud from the site since the work began.
