Residents of Lavington and Kilimani areas have called upon the county government to control the construction of petrol stations and churches in the area. The residents say the developments contravene some regulations, including those touching on noise pollution. Chairman of Lavington Five Roads Association Ndirangu Maina argues that the problem has been brought about by regular approval of change of land use without regard to residents.
"We are getting these approvals done without residents being involved and where we are involved out views are ignored; the authorities go ahead and give the approval," Maina said. "This matter that affects Lavington, the same is also happening in Kilimani, Manyani, Woodley, Kiuna and larger Nairobi."
