For examples of noise pollution. First, construction noise; Construction sites are a very common source of noise pollution. They are often in areas which were quiet beforehand and therefore the noise generated from their activities is very noticeable. Second,street and traffic noise. Third,Car and house alarms

The Environmental Protection Act is used to deal with car and house alarms. Sometimes these malfunction and sound continuously, or intermittently but for a prolonged period.

All alarms should be fitted with a 20 minutes cut off device. In addition, for house alarms there should be 2 key holders (other than the occupants) who live within 20 minutes of the property. Owners should provide the council with the details of key holders - please follow the link below.

If an alarm does sound, wait to see if it cuts after 20 minutes. You may want to contact the police to report a possible break-in. If the alarm continues after 20 minutes then contact us on tel: 01923 278503. Outside of normal office hours we provide an emergency service.
