    WHAT?

    Many in the local community will regard the start of construction work in their neighbourhood with great
    concern. The public are often afraid that construction work will bring noise, dust, road clo¬sures, increased
    heavy road traffic and disruption to normal life.
    Being a good neighbour means all those involved in a construction project acting with consideration for all
    those who live and work in the area surrounding the construction site to minimise their inconvenience.

    WHY?
     Public image Being a good neighbour creates a positive image of the industry.
     Avoid programme delays If neighbours complain to their Local Authorities about dust or noise
    nuisance caused, the Local Authority can impose conditions and restrictions on working, which can lead
    to delays.
     Avoid prosecution If any problems being caused by dust or noise are not satisfactorily resolved the
    Local Authority can prosecute those responsible.
     Reduce costs If good relations can be established with neighbours, many issues such as access to
    site, material deliveries and working hours can be improved through friendly negotiation.
