To report a noise issue to Gosport Borough Council, you have several options. If the noise is causing you distress outside of normal office hours, you can use the council’s text service or call the duty officer.
Here's a quick overview of how to report it:
| Method | Details |
|---|---|
| Text Service | Text "keywordnoise" followed by your name, address, and the problem address to 07860 098627. Example: "noise John Smith 1 New Road PO11 0AA loud music". |
| Duty Officer Call | Call 01329 824727 and leave a voicemail with your name, address, and contact information. |
| Formal Complaint | Submit a formal complaint via the online complaint form. |
If the problem persists after you’ve reported it, the council may take legal action if the noise qualifies as a statutory nuisance. It's often helpful to try and talk to your neighbor first, as they may not be aware their noise is bothering you.
