SIR: Could you please tell me if, it's not what you know, but who you know?

I live on Wilkinson Road, facing what used to be the reservoir. Contractors started work over 10 months ago and since then we have had to put up with dirt, noise, lime, lime wagons every 20 minutes, 30-foot trailers that hold cranes, dirt wagons and everything else that's turned up.

About two weeks ago, some residents on Belmont Road complained about the lime blowing. One of the residents said they were having the lime analysed and, all of a sudden, they are getting compensated. But no mention about Wilkinson Road.
