Noise "breaching human rights"

Residents say they have suffered for 10 years

Residents who claim noise from a busy road is breaching their human rights are taking their case to Europe.

People living in Gosford, Oxfordshire, are angry that plans to resurface part of a the A34 have fallen through.

Last year the Highways Agency promised to resurface the particular stretch of the dual carriageway but then announced it could not afford it.

One of the groups behind the court action, the Gosford Village Committee, are now taking their legal fight to the European Court of Human Rights.

The stretch of road being disputed is from the Peartree Interchange to Weston on the Green.

Residents say they have had to put up with it for 10 years and they have had enough.
