Residents disturbed by noise from trucks and trains rushing through their town have asked prospective election candidates for the town's local federal elections to put acoustic fencing at the forefront of the agenda.
People living in Largs North, in Australia, want acoustic fencing installed at their residences to help stem noise pollution, the Portside Messenger has reported.
Some 23,000 vehicles pass through the town every day, with 160 trains each week. And the numbers are expected to rise, the news provider said.
Resident Robert Brown told the news source acoustic barriers would be of great benefit to the town.
"If you had a barrier for the noise it would have to help stop it, it would have to be better," he said.
Now local politicians are listening to their citizens and taking concerns seriously.
According to the news source, local politicians Kalyna Micenko and Bruce Hambour both thought an acoustic barrier should be erected to combat the problem.
This month supermarket group Tesco said it would erect an acoustic fence around a home in Salisbury affected by noise pollution from passing vehicles.
