• HOW are tenants and residents on the Chalcots estate in Belsize Park expected to answer the telephone, listen to the radio or chat to each other or neighbours they’ve met up with in the hallways if they are having to wear noise-cancelling headphones as advised by Camden Council to cope with a six-week programme of “very noisy work”? It would be contrary to World Health Organisation guidelines for noise outside dwellings.
