Families living under a motorway say they couldn't imagine living anywhere else and for them, the noise is not a problem
Families living under a motorway say they couldn't imagine living anywhere else and for them, the noise is not a problem.
As a child, Joanna would spend most days with her sisters and their friends building ramps and riding their bikes under the flyovers. "Obviously, the construction company had to get my parents' permission to have it going through their garden. I don't think anybody would have been particularly happy about it. The garden at one point used to go down to the river.
Joanna has grown used to the traffic and is not bothered by the sound but husband Richie grew up in a quiet area near Sandfields. and says the noise is all he ever hears despite living in the home for 10 years."This is a far cry from what I'm used to. Even today, I can’t get used to the motorway in regards to the sounds. Four o’clock every morning, the lorries start doing their jaunt and then I wake up. Whether I go back to sleep or not is a different thing.
She said she realises the noise would most likely annoy those new to the area, but as she's always lived near the motorway she isn't bothered it. But the unique setting has its challenges as it has also attracted fly-tippers and antisocial behaviour, Joanna and Ritchie said.
