A SLEEP-DEPRIVED frontline worker has told how his whole flat was “bouncing” from the noise levels of TRNSMT and Biffy Clyro last week.

John Crossan – who lives in the Gorbals – has hit out at the council and event organisers for the “mindless” bass levels that travelled through his flat for four consecutive evenings.

But, the local authority has insisted that the monitored music volumes were “within the agreed limit”.

The Queen Elizabeth University Hospital employee has demanded for future consultation to be held with residents as he claims to have suffered from four sleepless nights.

He said: “I couldn’t sleep at all. I went to my bed at 9pm for work at 6am and there was no hope of sleep whatsoever.

“On Thursday, when Biffy Clyro were playing, I couldn’t bear the noise – my flat was literally bouncing. It boomed and boomed all night. I even tried to block it out with ear buds but that didn’t work.

“I try my hardest to provide the highest standards of patient centred care but feel the lack of sleep from this impacted on my ability to carry out my job to the best of my abilities.

“We have patients who are coming in unwell and they really deserve and require that level of professionalism. I can’t phone in sick to work because I didn’t get a decent night sleep the night before.”

The Biffy Clyro concert on Thursday evening was followed by a three-day-long festival that saw around 150,000 revellers flock to Glasgow Green.

Party-goers enjoyed headliners including Liam Gallacher, The Chemical Brothers and Sam Fender.

Having owned his property for eight years, live events of this scale are not unfamiliar with Mr Crossan.

He added: “I have been here since 2013 and it has never been quite as noisy as this.

“We never had any consultation prior to the events. In the future, there needs to be more involved with the community through the council and organisers to get an outcome we can all be happy with.

“We were just left to tolerate it.”

Elsewhere in the city, dismayed locals used social media to voice noise concerns.

Stephen Fyfe, who lives in Giffnock, Tweeted: “The cr***iest thing about hearing TRNSMT all the way from Giffnock is that I’ve no idea who’s playing.”

A man named Jamie with the Twitter username ‘ArcheryContest’ added: “The noise pollution from TRNSMT in Dennistoun is so bad.”

A spokesperson DF Concerts: “We have extensive procedures in place to ensure we delivered an incredible weekend of live music which was warmly received by so many people right across Glasgow, including many members of the local community immediately surrounding Glasgow Green – who have provided positive endorsements of the events.

“Our team has developed extensive community engagement process in partnership with Glasgow City Council which includes a number of consultation meeting and drop-in sessions, both online and face-to-face. 

“Representatives from Event Traffic, Noise and Security management, as well as Police Scotland and Glasgow City Council also attend these meetings to reassure any potential concerns.

“We also have dedicated residents enquiry line which is manned in the lead up to the event, between 8am and 1am on event days, and remains operational for the duration of this week, details of which is advertised on our website.

“Noise levels for the events are strictly monitored and at no point did they go outside of the agreed decibel levels which are enforced by the local authority.

“Working closely with the local community is a major priority for the successful delivery of TRNSMT and an area which we place a lot of focus upon, with engagement starting from the very day the event was confirmed.”

A Glasgow City Council spokeswoman said: “We had officers monitoring noise levels throughout the event and all were within the agreed limit.”
