Council calls for Slough noise consideration
Slough Borough Council is urging residents to be considerate neighbours when it comes to noise – especially as the months get hotter.
The warm summer sun can lead to an increase in complaints about noisy neighbours holding outside parties into the early hours of the morning.
So now the council is asking residents to be considerate of their neighbours and move parties indoors after 11pm.
Dympna Molloy, head of neighbourhood enforcement for Slough Borough Council, said: “We don’t want to stop people having fun, but sound does travel far more than people realise, which can cause problems for others wishing to sleep and enjoy their own property.
“During this warmer weather, most people will be sleeping with their windows open, which means they will be disturbed much more readily.
“We want to encourage people to consider their non-partying neighbours and move inside from 11pm, which will dramatically cut down on the amount of noise others suffer.”
Slough council operates an out-of-hours noise service which is accessed through the police. This service deals with major noise disturbances and emergencies.
If you have been experiencing problems, please contact the neighbourhood enforcement team on 01753 875255 to complain or to get advice.
