In one case a petition was received from a number of residents in the vicinity
of a factory, complaining of noise nuisance during the night and at weekends. After
protracted negotiations with the management alterations to the plant were
recommended. These recommendations were adopted, with the Co-operation of the
Company and this has resulted in a considerable reduction in the noise.
In two other cases where complaints were received of excessive noise during
night time Inspectors of the department kept observation during the night on the
business premises concerned and found that no statutory nuisance existed in either
case.
