Nuisance Noise

WillowTheWhisp · 28-07-2008, 17:29

I have a pounding headache and yet again the crash, crash, bang of firework explosions are carrying on outside. They are so LOUD. Once in a while it is tollerable but it's becoming a regular occurance.

Whatever happened to peace and quiet?

Apparently it can't be considered a nuisance unless it's after 11pm.

What's the occaision? Are they celebrating Willow's headache?

WillowTheWhisp · 28-07-2008, 17:32

They'll be celebrating until Sunday at this rate if they are!

thought fireworks were only supposed to be let off on 5th nov or as a display on other dates and only with the councils permission. That is very unfair on you, especially when you have a severe headache. Have you complained to the authorities?

I thought they were only permitted around Nov 5th too or for organised official events with council approval but when we queried this a week or so back we were told that as long as they stopped by 11pm they were OK.

Don't need to think about it much tosh, 90% of the time it is an Asian wedding but it's either an incredibly long wedding celebration or several people having consecutive weddings. I just don't understand why the fireworks have to be like deafening cannon fire.

Well we escaped it and went out for a while, did a nature scavenger hunt with the girls.

There are a number of restrictions on the use of fireworks which are summarised in the link below - Its Oxford council's guide (best one out there really - Lancashire dont have one!) but the rules are universal .

interesting to note - fireworks cause air pollution due to chemicals used in manufacture. seems that does not matter in these instances. but you drop a fag end on floor, its a big deal n yer a criminal.
