Residents win compensation after noise and exhaust from a delivery company disrupts daily life
A resident of a northern city center brought a case to court after repeatedly hearing loud grinding and engine roaring from a food delivery company that operated right beneath her window. The emissions from the company’s vehicles filled the air, leaving little air for residents to breathe and adding a sense of constant unease to everyday life. The disturbance did not stop at the building’s exterior; it seeped into homes, affecting the peace and comfort of those living nearby.
The claimant explained that the polluted environment contributed to a general decline in health for herself and her children. She described headaches, irritation, and a growing sense of fatigue tied to the persistent traffic noise and the hazy air. In addition, the case highlighted that street-level noise exceeded established limits, making restful sleep a scarce luxury and turning nights into a struggle for quiet and safety.
The court ruled in favor of the complainant, ordering the delivery company to pay 70,000 rubles as compensation for immaterial harm. The payment was processed from the company’s bank account and directed to the resident, confirming a judicial recognition of the impact of living conditions on well-being. It was noted that the same company had previously faced penalties on three separate occasions for noise violations, underscoring a pattern of disturbance associated with its operations.
Collaboration to secure tires for essential services
Efforts tied to public safety and mobility have continued elsewhere. A program supported by a civic group and a broad coalition began raising funds to purchase tires in commonly used sizes for vehicles serving the People’s Police, operational services of the LPR and DPR, ambulances, the Ministry of Emergency Situations, and humanitarian aid convoys heading into Donbass. These tires will help ensure that critical services can reach people in need without interruption. Citizens are encouraged to contribute through the designated collection page, supporting reliable transit for essential responders and relief teams.
