"Police Offer Guidance on Handling Noisy Builders Disrupting Your Peace"

Police have provided guidance on addressing disturbances caused by builders, emphasizing that noise-related issues should be reported to local government rather than calling 999.

• Residents experiencing disruptions from builders are advised to report severe cases of noise to their local government through Environmental Services for effective noise control.
• Calling 999 for noise complaints is discouraged, as police lack the authority to address violations related to noise pollution, according to guidance from Ask the Police.
• Local government authorities are equipped to handle complaints about disruptive noise, ensuring that residents can reclaim their peace without unnecessary escalation.
