new years eve again
is everyone aware that our beloved council have an amnesty on noise
and parties tonight from 6pm till 2am again
after the last 2 years of no sleep on new years eve from parties that
are extremely noisy 1 last year was 2 streets away
I have no recourse with a council who are supposed to be there for
everyone not just a minority
luckily this year I don't have to work tomorrow, after no sleep as the
nosie never stopped till 6am
I feel really sad for anyone sick elderly. or with small babies having
to tolerate this from a few who are given free reighn to do what they
like and disturb others.
last year rang at 2am phone lines were already clogged and no officer came till 4 am the first time, so they are busy and are ignoring a large
part of the population
please voice your concerns to your local councillor like I did last year
rang the list of councillors at 4am, they make the rules they got
diturbed
