Noise from Children

There is no getting around it children cry, laugh, scream and chatter.  We do not deal with complaints regarding these issues. 

 

We do not deal with disturbance from ball games balls e.g. football or balls being thrown at people’s properties, that is something which should be dealt with neighbour to neighbour and should be easily resolved.  Maybe suggest they kick it against their own house wall.  If the parents experience it, they may realise that it can be annoying. 

 

We do not deal with ball games in streets.  If it is causing a danger to the public the Police may be able to assist, ring the local Police station rather than 999. 

 

You can put up a sign for No Ball Games on your own property (0.3sqm in area.)

 

Children should be encouraged to play in a responsible way that will not disturb neighbours. 

 

 If you live in a flat or maisonette or terraced house don’t allow children to jump around on floors or run up and downstairs in a way that disturb adjoining neighbours.
