The noise levels during the evenings in auckland are becoming hazardous to our health. Recent research shows that noise can decrease sleep quality which causes tiredness, fatigue and inflammation.
Lets work together to mitigate the effect of night time noises in our community by bringing a blanket ban to cleaning vehicles, construction, drainage, aeroplanes and non-emergency helicopters over residential areas during peak sleeping hours of 10pm to 5am. This petition is necessary as the council has failed in their duties to look after our well being which has denied us silent nights.
Compliance with existing regulations, and enforcements of these is the key. I believe provisions are already there with Auckland Council, they just need to enforce them: no construction work on Sundays, and no council activities (except police and ambulance helicopters) between 10pm and 7am.
