Noise Nuisances.
Details of the action taken in respect of complaints received of alleged noise
nuisances during the year are as follows :—
Number of complaints of noise nuisance 36
Number of inspections 40
Number of revisits 43
Number of notices served 1
As a result of a petition being received concerning noise made at a depot in the
Finsbury Park Station area, where it was alleged that a nuisance was created when
boxes of fish were unloaded from railway waggons into lorries, by the use of ironclad
trollies which were wheeled over concrete and by the shouts of the employees,
it was necessary to keep the premises under observation from 12 midnight to 7 a.m.
on two occasions.
Action taken by the Sanitary Inspector resulted in a mitigation of the nuisances
complained of, the firm concerned being most co-operative. As a result of action
taken, no further complaints have been received.
