FAQs

What service can I expect if I make a noise complaint?

If you are making a complaint for the first time we would normally write a letter advising the person causing the problem and hopefully this will be all that is required for the matter to be resolved. We will also write to you, enclosing a diary sheet to be filled out and returned. If things do not improve you will need to return the diary sheet and we will decide whether a visit should be made. If we witness a statutory nuisance we will serve an abatement notice on the person causing the problem, and if nuisance continues the Council has powers to prosecute the person responsible or even confiscate their stereo/TV equipment.
