Noise Nuisance |
||
|
In the Tipton, Great Bridge, and Princes End areas, nuisance noise is primarily managed by Sandwell Council, with police involvement only for criminal or dangerous activity. 1. Report to Sandwell Council (Primary) The council handles domestic noise (music, shouting, DIY) and commercial noise (pubs, businesses). Online Reporting: Use the MySandwell Portal to log a noise complaint or report Antisocial Behaviour. Phone: Contact the Environmental Health Team on 0121 368 1177 (Option 7 for noise/ASB). Council Tenants: If the noise is coming from a council property, contact your local Housing Team directly at 0121 368 1166. 2. Evidence Gathering Sandwell Council follows a structured process and will likely ask for evidence: Noise Diary: You must keep a record of incidents including dates, times, and how the noise affected you. Informal Action: The council recommends attempting an informal chat or letter first, as neighbours may be unaware of the issue. The Noise App: You may be invited to use a dedicated Noise App to record audio clips directly for investigators. 3. West Midlands Police (Tipton Team) Police in Tipton and Great Bridge focus on noise that coincides with specific local priorities, such as: Great Bridge Retail Park: Ongoing issues with Antisocial Behaviour and rowdy behaviour. Vehicle Nuisance: Report off-road bikes or car cruising via the WMP Online Tool. Emergencies: If the noise involves violence or threats, always call 999. Important: Sandwell Council does not operate a 24-hour response service for noise complaints.
