Westminster Noise Strategy

Introduction

 

Noise pollution is a significant problem in Westminster and in 2009 the council received 17,701 noise complaints. Noise can have serious effect on the health of the city’s residents and it can also be very annoying.

The need to tackle noise problems and improve the sound environment in Westminster is identified as a key local priority in the Westminster City Plan 2006 -2016. In response the city council made a commitment to develop a comprehensive noise strategy for Westminster.

The Westminster Noise Strategy

 

The draft Westminster Noise Strategy followed an consultation exercise  where residents, businesses and stakeholders were invited to provide detailed comments and suggestions. We have taken account of these views and we are now publishing the final Westminster Noise Strategy.

Copies of the Westminster Noise Strategy are available for inspection at Westminster’s libraries and One Stop Services or you can download the file below.
