Lincoln says nuisance noise is usually best reported to the council first, and if you can’t speak to the person causing it or they won’t listen, you can use the online noise report form.
| What to do | Link | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Try to resolve it calmly with the person responsible | — | Lincoln suggests talking peacefully first, if it feels safe. |
| Report the noise online | Report Noise Pollution | Use this if you can’t talk to them or they won’t stop. |
| If it’s anti-social behaviour more generally | Report antisocial behaviour now | This includes noise nuisance and other issues. |
If there’s clear evidence of criminal activity linked to an alarm, Lincoln says to call the Police on 999 immediately. If you’re reporting through the antisocial behaviour form, it helps to have the dates and times of the incident ready.
