A church in South London has just been fined over £7,000 following noise complaints. As someone who lives next door to one of these churches myself I am, of course, pleased with this result!
Excessive noise in a residential area at 3am is of course misery making regardless of who is doing it, but when it is due to errant religious nonsense (demons indeed!) it must be totally galling!
It also goes to show that a noise complaint can be taken seriously and this church does not have the priviledge to just walk over laws regarding anti-social behaviour (although they are attempting to appeal). Credit must go to Southwark Council for taking action.
