The JN talked to Maria Pereira, resident on Óscar da Silva Street, who has reported the case several times to the PSP and the Matosinhos City Hall. Still guarantees that "they never did anything". Company does not recognize the occurrence.

"I've reached the point where I have to play music to fall asleep". Who says this is Maria Pereira who deals with the "deafening" noise from the company, situated at the back of her house.

When she entered that house ten years ago, the area where the company now stands was abandoned. Nothing could have predicted that, a few years later, she would "deal with traumatic noise day and night. "If I had known what I know today, I would have thought twice," adds the resident.

In addition to Maria Pereira, the neighbors also recognize the problem. They even jointly signed one of the complaints sent to the police.

JN tried to contact the Matosinhos City Hall, but got no answer. However, the municipality informed the resident, in April 2021, that proceeded to a "sensitization with the company's managers so that the necessary steps are taken to stop the noise".
