COUNCIL has completed a cost benefit assessment to decide whether to introduce measures to cut the noise from householders living beside the M7.
The information emerged at this month’s metropolitan district meeting following questions by City East councillors Elena Secas, and Catherine Slattery.
Brian Kennedy, the director of service in the physical development directorate, confirmed that an assessment was undertaken for homes in Monaleen which back onto the M7 comparing the monetised cost in terms of benefit to health by the implementation of mitigation measures – as against the cost of bringing them in.
