A row has erupted in a seaside town after a couple installed a 15ft bouncy castle in their front garden to entertain their children during lockdown.
Alison Calder, 32, and partner Craig Baillie, 30, from Buckie, Moray, have invested £3,000 over the past year on two giant inflatables, including a massive slide and music dome, to stop Myrren, 12, Nikita, eight, and Sonnie, six, from getting bored during lockdown.
But neighbours today slammed the inflatable disco dome and slide - which is taller than their homes - and described the music as unbearable .
One resident, who did not want to be named for fear of reprisals, told MailOnline the music was so loud she had to wear ear plugs to read a book in the back garden .
Enfield Covid marshals have broken up hundreds of groups and visited thousands of businesses to ensure lockdown rules are being followed. The marshals were reintroduced on December 17 when Enfield and the rest of London were placed into Tier 4 restrictions. These marshals patrol high streets and some parks to break up gatherings, offer advice to businesses and refer any premises breaking the rules to Enfield Councils Environmental Health and Trading Standards officers for follow up and, if necessary, enforcement action. The council says that in just one month, 478 groups have been dispersed and more than 4,600 businesses have been visited by the marshals.
