More details
Some councils don't have night team to deal with midnight party/noise immediately, police are too lazy to deal with it, leaving vulnerable people, such as babies, elderly people, patients with mental disorder and physical disease, suffered from anxiety and sleep deprivation. More people get sick leave to see doctors, reduced societal productivity and caused burden to NHS and government(sick pay). Crime/car accident raised because of sleep deprivation.
This petition was rejected
Why was this petition rejected?
It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.
We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.
Local authorities have a statutory obligation to investigate nuisances, including noise that could constitute a statutory nuisance, and current legislation already gives local authorities the power to enforce restrictions and issue fines if these are breached. Deciding when to use these powers is a matter for individual local authorities, and not the Government or House of Commons.
If you want the police to take more action about noise complaints you could start a petition calling for producing excessive noise to be made a criminal offence.
We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
