High Peak says it won’t investigate anonymous complaints, so your report needs to be identifiable to them even though they won’t reveal your identity during the early stages. If you’re reporting a council tenant, High Peak asks you to use the Noise App 2.0 and select “High Peak Borough Council” as the service provider.
