The resident said her neighbours were banging on the walls, screaming, shouting abuse at her and playing loud music every night
In the report, the investigator said Ms J’s quality of life was affected and she was constantly anxious about her neighbour’s behaviour.
They added: “The injustice caused Ms J the distress of not knowing whether [the council] was taking any action. She also has the uncertainty, and possible lost opportunity, of not knowing whether the outcome might have differed had the fault not occurred.” The council agreed to take a number of actions within four weeks of the ombudsman’s decision at the end of April.
These included: sending a written apology to Ms J, paying her £100 for the injustice and measures to ensure the council does not repeat the same mistakes. The full ombudsman report can be found here: https://www.lgo.org.uk/decisions/environment-and-regulation/noise/21-000-037#point1.
