Make it an offence to mow lawns at unsociable times on bank holidays.
On many recent bank holidays, the same peril has been inflicted on me. For the past 3, gardeners working across the road have woken me up at an early time on a bank holiday. This is not acceptable, my bank holidays are precious time to rest, not to hear excessive use of power tools at 8am.
If you look at Germany, they have laws concerning noise abatement and we should too! Gardeners in the UK should be required to have similar rules to those which businesses operating loud machinery are required to follow which means they are restricted on use on public holidays.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Councils must already look into complaints about noise that could be considered a ‘statutory nuisance’. This includes noise that may unreasonably and substantially interfere with the use or enjoyment of a home or other premises.
It is the responsibility of the local council to look into complaints and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You may wish to contact your local council about this issue.
