Life 20 metres from new expressway leaves neighbours fearful, losing sleep due to noise
Stuff - Waikato Times: 29-July-2022
As Terry Cho peers out the window of his daughter’s bedroom, the sound of a truck approaching along the new 110km Hamilton expressway sends a shiver of unease up his body.
Cho and his family are often awoken in the night to the sound of traffic noise but, for the father of two, he cannot bear to think that the trucks are ploughing past a couple of dozen metres from his daughter’s window.
She doesn’t feel safe either, and has shifted into her sister’s room.
“I’m worried about the safety issues, not just the sounds,” Cho said. “It’s not safe... My house and my neighbour’s house are less than 20m... right up close to the motorway,” he said.
