Noise, noise, noise

I was delighted to read that Gravesham Council has confiscated the audio equipment of a twerp who was broadcasting to the neighbourhood from his home. Councils should be far more pro-active in dealing with the problem of noise.

Where I live we have the following noise pollution

• Parties in gardens accompanied by very loud music until the early hours of the morning.
• The idiot wannabe drummer parading his lack of ability to the neighbourhood.
• The Rusthall FC Football Fayre: two days of incessant loudspeaker use.  Could be heard over a half mile radius.

An issue for our parish council to get stuck into?  I am not holding my breath.
