Yes, you do need to fill in a noise nuisance diary for each incident of noise that you want the council to investigate. The diary helps the council determine how the noise affects your health or quality of life before they take any action.
After you've documented the noise in the diary, you can report it to the Environmental Health Team. An officer will then contact you within 14 working days. If you'd like to download the diary, you can do so here. Keeping a detailed record is essential for a successful investigation!
