Ajman puts halt to construction work after nine at night
By Bassma Al Jandaly, Staff Reporter
Ajman: His Highness Shaikh Humaid Bin Rashid Al Nuaimi, Member of the Supreme Council and Ruler of Ajman, has ordered construction work to be stopped after 9pm, sources said.
Shaikh Humaid was responding to residents' complaints about construction work that is going on at night in different areas in Ajman
Many residents had complained to Ajman Municipality and Ajman Police that construction work in many buildings starts at 8pm and ends the next day at around 7am, making their life miserable and giving them sleepless nights.
Shaikh Humaid ordered on Wednesday that no construction work will be undertaken at night after 9pm because that affects public health negatively.
Ali Al Hamrani, Director General of Ajman Municipality, told Gulf News that the municipality has instructed all contractors to finish work at 8 or 9pm.
Hassan, a resident in Al Nuamia Area, told Gulf News that he had complained many times to the municipality but was told that the contractors obtain permission from the municipality to do work at night.
Umm Mohi Al Deen, who lives in Al Karama area, said that she had called police on many occasions at 2am and 3am complaining about the noise of the construction work near her building.

Some might say it wouldn't be a bad idea if Dubai followed Ajman's lead!

Hmmm..considering the stock market plunge, this is the right time to implement this idea in Dubai. A real estate kaboom is in the offing....
I'm so glad to find your blog! I lived in Dubai in 1977-78 as an American expat, and worked for a fledgling company that made industrial films and commercials that were shown at the cinemas. The recent Vanity Fair article on Dubai sent me to the Web to catch up on my old home. What a magical time that was - and who knows, we may have been in a meeting together or hung out at Jumeirah Beach back in the day. It's just jaw-dropping to see photos from the present. Feel free to e-mail me at das202@yahoo.com if you'd like.
I'd second the motion to close the construction after 9pm in Dubai!!
It's the damn piledrivers that make the most noise and vibration.
I am dealing with the same problem in my area of Dubai; constant hammering can drive some one literally insane! Ajman has got it right.
I think it's better for work to be done at night. It means less suffering for the workers.
No work should be done at night.. We want to sleep.. Screw you bandicoot.. lol..
