Re: loud music at this time of night

We had a similar problem last weekend. From 2pm in the afternoon. Really loud music,if you can call it that, the main thing we could hear was the constant bass thumping. By 10pm i was getting really stressed out. (It was so loud my son could hear it from the top end of the next street)

I rang the police. Basically nothing they can do, unless it goes on in the early hours of the morning or causing a disturbance. Duh! if that isn't, what is! Even told them the party was spreading into the surrounding area, people dropping their empties etc. Even had people "accidently" opening my front door. (ended up locking it). Still no reaction from them. They put me through to the council's Noise team. Basically as far as they are concerned everyone is entitled to have a party on their property now and again. (It wasn't in their property, it was in the street, Grrr!) Kindly sent me a form to fill in if there is regular nuisance noise from that address. Maybe there won't be. But the next person has a noisy party, then the next! and so on & so on.... Are decent people not allowed to sleep these days or have a peaceful life? seems not!

Some councils have teams that go round if a complaint is made and can act upon it if deemed necessary. Not here it seems
