Noise nuisance

Residents sometimes feel powerless when faced with anti-social behaviour (ASB) but please be assured that we take these issues seriously. ASB can make people's lives a misery by disturbing or causing nuisance to an individual, their family or a whole community.

Use our ASB toolkit, available on our website, to find out what is and what is not anti-social behaviour, and whether you need to report it to us, the police or your local council.

Where we do take action, our recently launched Noise App is having an effect. The smart phone-based app allows our Community Safety Team to assess and manage ASB noise cases. Residents can use the app to submit noise recordings to us, enabling us to review the recordings and take the required actions.  

Our Community Safety Manager, Lee Andrews says: “Since the launch of the Noise App we are already noticing a much more streamlined approach in respect of our noise related ASB investigations. We are in a position to resolve noise issues faced by our residents more quickly than before, and we are confident that the app will continue to help us deliver a better ASB noise service to our residents.”
