Noise Nuisance act doesn't do enough to protect people from noisy neighbours
Give council enforcement officers more powers to enforce and catch neighbours making unreasonable noise nuisance from DIY or LOUD MUSIC preventing them from making peoples homes hostile and uninhabitable and causing serious health issues
On the spot fines Every time the officer deems the noise unreasonable
At the moment the process is impossible to penalise these people the environment officer has to hear the noise several times before prosecution
councils are short staffed and officers take hours to attend and witness these incident by which point the noise has normal ceased
Allow submission of CCTV as evidence of noise disturbances
Look at how German laws protect there citizens and take a leaf out of there book
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:
Local authorities have a statutory obligation to investigate nuisances, including noise that could constitute a statutory nuisance, and current legislation already gives local authorities the power to enforce restrictions and issue fines if these are breached. Deciding when to use these powers is a matter for individual local authorities, and not the Government or House of Commons.
If a complainant feels that a local authority has not correctly dealt with
their concerns, they should contact it again to request further action. If a complainant remains unsatisfied having gone through all stages of
the Council’s complaints procedure, the Local Government Ombudsman
(LGO) may be able to investigate a complaint.
