Noise pollution council letter

[beetreebird]

Has anyone got experience of this?

After months of torment I have been submitting rather tedious time sheets and noise logs via an app to someone at the council. I know that several other people in the street have, too. Subsequently they have apparently received a letter from the council.

Well, miraculously, the noise has decreased drastically (loud thumping music until 5/6am!).

I want to know what was in the letter. What 'threats' have been made etc. I gave the landlord's details to the council.

The lady at the council is being very 'professional' with me, rightly so, I guess - says the letter doesn't name me or the specific incidents I have alleged.

I just want to know what they've been told.

(Drip feed: they've also had visits from the police multiple times and now child services who they are refusing to le let in blaming police harassment. This also might be why they've turned the music down/off)

I just want to know what they've been told.

Why?

Does it matter? If they've quietened down, tthat's great. Why would you care beyond that?

How do you know?

Stop gossiping and speculating.

Because I can't help but see/hear the numerous police car visits outside my window, screaming and shouting and dancing in the street and also child services have consulted with me and a few neighbours.

And to answer your lovely message, I want to know because they've sort of started up again so want to know what the next steps are in the process. Should I continue to log the noise and incidents etc and whether that is a fruitless task to carry on doing. That might've been in the letter.

Have a fabulous day, you joyous thing you!

YEs - continue to log everything and keep reporting to the Council. Most enforcement proceedings involve several steps, and the Council will need to show that they have followed all the steps. At this stage they will have been given a warning, they may need to be given another warning before the COuncil can step things up. I think eventually they can take them to court if necessary.

I had a copy of the letter my council sent to my “all come round for drinks and loud karaoke on a Sunday afternoon” neighbours. In the letter they said they would remove music devices from the property if they continued. They also wrote to me some months later to ask if things were better. They were, the first letter worked a treat.

And yes, I would continue to log issues, if the council need to take further action the log will be useful, especially instances after they have been told to desist.

Thank you both!

It might either be an advisory letter so we have received complaints etc but you should have a copy of that. Or more likely a noise abatement letter that states what further action might be taken and you may not get a copy.

Either way keep logging everything so it escalates. It sounds like they have multiple agencies on them so with any luck it will get sorted. Unfortunately, in my experience absolutely nothing was done. No one could get one of my ex neighbours to behave because she enjoyed the attention and drama and managed to act reasonably in front of them. It really made me lose faith in it all.
