Last year was a busy year for Ipswich Borough Council's noise control team. The new team received 1,085 separate complaints about noise, which is slightly up on previous years. Some 98% of these complaints were responded to the same day.
The Council served 84 noise abatement notices (20% more than the average for the previous four years) and put forward 31 cases for prosecution (72% up). So, if you like upsetting your neighbours with noisy parties beware! If you are a neighbour suffering from noise pollution get in touch with the team, tel: 01473 433115.
