Westminster’s 24 hours Noise Team deal with noise complaints including loud parties, loud music, noise from pubs, clubs and bars, building sites, alarms, buskers, noise from the street, roadworks, DIY, noisy animals and dust and smoke. We can also help with drainage problems, odours, pests and rubbish from commercial premises.

We work closely with entertainment venues in order to assess their impact and advise them on how they can reduce noise levels for example by setting music limiters. Noise surveys are undertaken for planning and licensing applications.

Olympic Games 2012

During the Games this summer, our Noise Team has to maintain a balance between the needs of the 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.
