Yes, there are penalties for causing noise nuisances in Broxbourne, primarily enforced under Public Spaces Protection Orders (PSPOs). If someone breaks a PSPO, it is considered a criminal offense, which can lead to a Fixed Penalty Notice (FPN) of £100 or a fine of up to £1,000 if prosecuted.
Here's a summary of potential penalties related to noise nuisances:
| Offense | Penalty |

If you're dealing with a noise nuisance issue, you can report it through the council's online form. It's good to document instances of the nuisance to assist in your complaint.
