Taking your own legal action
How to take a private legal action for noise nuisance to a magistrates' court
In some instances it may be difficult for the Council to take action against a noise nuisance i.e. if a noise nuisance occurs in short bursts making it difficult for the Noise and Nuisance Team to witness and assess, in these instances you may feel that taking your own legal action is the next step to take. If you decide to go ahead with an action, make sure you keep a noise diary and make sure you keep it up to date. Keep copies of any letters you write or receive in date order and make notes of any conversations.
