Noise levels from the A1(M) through Welwyn Hatfield have reached unacceptable levels and local campaigner and now Member of Parliament, Grant Shapps, has launched a campaign to get something done about the problem.

Modern "whisper quiet" motorway surfaces would roughly halve the audible sound level and Grant is building a petition to be presented to the Highways Agency demanding that action is taken.

During five years of campaigning on the subject, Grant has even hired a pneumatic drill to gave the Highways Agency a taste of 78 decibels outside of their own offices!
 

Drilling the point home -- watch the video here

To highlight the appalling noise coming from the A1(M), Grant Shapps recently hired a pneumatic drill, stood outside the government's Highways Agency in Hatfield and gave them a taste of 78 decibels -- the equivalent of A1(M) motorway noise. If you have broadband, then you can watch the actual video here.
