Being a good neighbour
We frequently get complaints about a range of different noises that are impacting on neighbouring homes.
What we will do when you make a complaint
- We’ll listen to you and together we’ll agree a plan of what can be done to help with the situation, including what we can do and what you can do to help.
- If we need to, we’ll get other agencies involved, such as your landlord if your rent your home or the police.
- We’ll need to keep in touch so that we can keep us up to date with how things are going. We’ll agree with you how best and how to contact you.
- If we can’t get hold of you or don’t hear back from you, we’ll assume there’s no longer a problem and close the case.
