About this booklet
This booklet gives you advice about how to solve noise
problems.The noise could be from neighbours, traffic, or a
business.
The booklet informs you of your rights and the sort of
action you can expect from your local authority and the
police. It is not an authoritative statement of
legislation.
To help you, we have organised this booklet into three
sections with an
introduction.
Section
1 tells you what you can do about noise from
neighbours, local commercial and industrial premises,
and vehicles.
Section
2 describes additional noise controls such as
bylaws and specific controls on noise from construction
sites and loudspeakers.
Section
3 explains how you can get involved in planning to
prevent noise.
At the
back
of the booklet, you will find contact addresses for
information about noise sources such as aeroplanes, trains,
and road traffic.
