Dear Grahame,

I write with reference to your letter dated 24th June 2010. It stats that work would occur "from the 30mph limit at Macclesfield for a distance of 500 metres towards Buxton".

I received your letter and didn't pay much attention because the ONLY 30mph limit sign on Buxton Road is at Arighi Bianchi. Since we live more than a mile from that sign I considered it would have little impact.

Last night your contractors noisily worked through the night in a totally different location to that described in the letter. Had you informed us that you intedned to work through the night from the 40 MPH sign, I would have contact you to express my disgust at your proposal.

I do not understand how you can justify such disruptive works to occur during the night so close to residential estates. I have a 2 year old daughter who could not sleep last night, I face an important day in my career with barely any sleep. My neighbour has guests who have just arrived from Hong Kong with jet lag, I can only begin to imagine how they feel.

Since you have misinformed the public as to the location of the works, do you have the legal remit to continue? I would like you to call me on xxx xxxx xxxx to discuss the matter further.

I have lodged a complain with Environmental Health and will cc David Rutley MP.

Yours Faithfully,
