Noise nuisance

Some forms of noise nuisance can be resolved simply by speaking to the parties involved and making them aware of the issue.

However, when this has not worked or is not a viable course of action, you can use the appropriate online form below.

It may assist your enquiry to keep a prior record of the dates and times that the noise has caused you disturbance. Use this  Nuisance Record Sheet (PDF) [113KB] (opens new window)  before contacting the council.
