NOISE
Complaints of intrusive noise from both residential and commercial premises are investigated by Pollution Control and action is taken to prevent nuisance. This covers everything from noisy neighbours and loud music to barking dogs, industrial processes and roadworks.
Officers can be contacted via a pager to respond to ongoing investigations up to Midnight on Monday to Friday. A Party Patrol operates on Friday and Saturday nights from 11.00pm to 4.00am to respond to complaints, particularly about noisy parties.
Conditions are imposed on new developments, both to protect the occupier of the development from noise, and to prevent noise from the development affecting neighbours. Aircraft, road and rail noise are all monitored. A full acoustic laboratory is maintained.
