OLD BUILDING WITH A CASE OF THE SHAKES
A local resident has been left alarmed and exasperated by damage to his building which he suspects has been caused by tramwork-related vibration.
Alex Poole lives in a second-floor flat on Haddington Place. In March this year he noticed a new crack on a recently painted interior wall at the front of his home. He raised the issue with Trams to Newhaven (TtN), but as the crack didn’t get any worse he thought little of it.
