Quad bikes and noise...
Discussion
Is there any recourse regarding noise level of recreational vehicles?
The household behind me have been hammering quad bikes for over four hours now. It's doing my f
king head in.
Behind my house is a field, then some woodlands, then one almighty massive house with a lot of land... So it's private land.
Today the noise of quad bikes has been buzzing since noon. They are seriously loud. A few neighbours have also exclaimed their disappointment in what are very anti-social noise levels.
In essence, my question is, have I got an official route to follow?
And yes, a neighbour has asked them to stop but got told to 'fk off'...
Many thanks in advance

PS - I can't move because, apart from this noise, I love where I live, my mum is a few doors down so I can look after her, and I'm mortgaged up to hilt

Well a complete change of story... Turns out that it's wasn't on the original persons land as I thought. The were on farming land around the edge of the private land.
However, the bikes belong to a neighbour two doors down from me... He owns a thin strip of land that backs onto the field. The dad is away a lot on business (deals in diamonds) and mum owns a hair salon... Works full time.
Their 16 year old lout and mates are razzing around while mum is at work. But it's on their land...and they are louts as they are hurling abuse at anyone who challenges them and swearing like troopers.
Ex-police neighbour got the police onto them, but as they've retreated to their own land which is even closer to my house there's not much they can do.
I called the farmer and he's given them a ticking off. The police have been around and given them a ticking off. But they started again at 4:30 this afternoon...
However my neighbour is going round tonight and I'll follow if needs be... And a few other neighbours are lining up.
I'll keep updating the thread when anything happens... I've taken video footage to send to the council/environmental agency if need be.
My neighbour has really got the bit between the teeth though... So it'll be a full on battle or he'll nip it in the bud.
To be fair it's the son who is blasting about when no parents are at home...
Complete change of topic with no relevance to the above post: how much petrol would it take to permanently immobilise a quad bike should any get accidentally spilt on one?

Not much, but be careful lighting it, ideally throw something that's burning at it, don't use matches whatever you do.Gassing Station | Speed, Plod & the Law | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
