City of London is interested in our views on noise, and on initiatives to try to create or reinforce quieter areas in the City. They are running a consultation into this, and there is a survey you can take on their website. This all sounds like good news from our perspective, as noise is always a live issue for Willoughby House Group and is probably the biggest source of resident complaint and concern.
We don’t now much about the thinking behind this survey or what may come from it, but it is very likely to be used to formulate policies. If there is a strong sentiment from residents that noise is an issue, it could result in some improvements, or a change in attitude with respect to licence applications, planning applications requests for streetworks at antisocial hours, as well as the response of Environmental Services and the Police to noise complaints.
You can take the survey by following this link. Please take the survey and make your views known.
