Equipment seized from noisy neighbours
Equipment seized from noisy neighbours
Two Gateshead residents have had their noise making equipment seized because of the nuisance they were causing their neighbours.
The woman from the Sunderland Road area and the man from Bensham (who both can t be named for legal reasons) had their equipment seized after continuing to play very loud music after being served with a Noise Abatement Notice.
Gateshead Council served the two notices to the residents for making their neighbours lives a misery, often playing music during the day and late at night. Recordings of the noise from both properties showed that neighbours were suffering music noise equivalent to being in a night-club which spoiled the enjoyment of their homes and prevented them from sleeping.
