Hours of Working

The Council will normally expect contractors to adhere to the following hours of working:

• Monday to Friday 8:00 am to 6:30 pm
• Saturday 8:00 am to 1:00 pm
• Sundays and Bank Holidays: No working

These hours apply to any work causing noise audible at the site boundary.

It is appreciated that on rare occasions, work outside these hours may be unavoidable. For example, police restrictions may mean that certain deliveries can only take place on a Sunday when traffic is light. Except in cases of extreme emergency, the Council would expect to be notified well in advance of such necessary deviations from the normal pattern of work, and strongly advises contractors to notify surrounding residents.
