A NOISY piledriver near Sainsbury's, in Victoria Road, Darlington, is to be silenced.
The large, upright machine has been digging throughout the day, starting at 8.30am. Residents in South Terrace, Grange Road, and Polam Road have complained about having their peace disturbed.
But a Darlington Borough Council spokesman said builders had told them the loud banging was due to stop on Tuesday.
Mandale Construction, of Middlesbrough, are building 33 two-bedroom apartments on the site of the former Esso petrol station.
The three-storey block will have 11 flats on each floor, as well as underground parking.
