Councils Are Failing To Act Over Noisy Neighbours

More than half a million people complained to town halls last year about the bad behaviour of their neighbours. Nearly half of the protests were about noise, with others covering householders who failed to clear their rubbish or neglected a property. But there were only just over 8,000 cases in which councils responded by sending out legal notices calling for a stop to the nuisance and carrying the threat of fines. Only 8,024 abatement notices were issued. Fewer than one in ten of the notices – 638 – were broken after they were issued. Read more on the Daily Mail website.
