Fears over Newport garage jet wash noise amid bid to extend opening hours
Fears have been raised about the noise created from a jet wash at a garage in Newport, if plans are approved for it to be open until 10pm.
Proposals have been submitted to Telford & Wrekin Council for the hours of jet wash use at the Shell petrol station in Lower Bar, to be extended from the present 7am-7pm operation to 7am-10pm.
The applicant says that the proposal for a three-hour extension is due to customer demand and so users with busy schedules during the day can access the jet wash at night.
“During summer months when daylight lasts longer extending the operating hours is more practical and convenient for customers,” the applicant argues.
“During the winter months extended hours accommodates customer needs to clean their vehicles more frequently, after regular operating hours.”
