Olympic Games 2012

This Summer, the Olympic Games are being held in London. Westminster council is honoured to be hosting several events and we are expecting it to be a time of excitement and celebration for athletes and supporters alike. However, Westminster Council's 24 Hour Noise Team has to maintain a balance between the needs of the Olympic Games and the needs of it's residents and workers. There will be no relaxation of noise legislation during the Olympic Games 2012 in Westminster.

If you would like help and advice about noise or you want to report a noise that is not happening now please report the problem online. Do not use this link for noise happening now.
