In Havering, the council typically aims to resolve a noise complaint within two weeks after you've reported it. If necessary, they may investigate complaints involving statutory nuisances, but they won't handle minor disturbances.
Here's a summary of the complaint process related to noise:
| Action | Timeframe |
|---|---|
| Initial response to your report | Within 2 weeks |
| Full written reply (if needed) | Within 10 working days |
| Complex issues (additional time) | Up to an extra 10 working days |
It's advisable to first talk to the person causing the noise, as they might not realize it's bothering you. If you want to report a noise complaint, you can do so via Havering's reporting page.
