Sir – Are others finding the new “quieter” surface on the A34 Viaduct replacement in North Oxford noisier than before?
I live on the Waterways estate off Woodstock Road. Previously, we only used to hear the road when the wind was in a certain direction. Now there is a permanent background hum, obviously worse at night when all is quiet.
I am finding it a nuisance, as you cannot just sit and read, you need some sort of background noise to blot it out. You would think in this day and age, 46 years after it was first done, they would have the technology to overcome this.
