Not Satisfied with Your Local Authority's Action?
Make sure that you understand why the local authority has not been able to stop the noise that you have complained about. If you are not satisfied with the environmental health department’s response, write to the chief executive of the local authority.
If you do not receive a reply, or you are still not satisfied, you can ask the relevant Ombudsman for an independent investigation of how the local authority handled your complaint.
