If you’re holding a house party over the festive period you’re asked to consider your surrounding neighbours.
That's the message from the police who have a duty to attend all callouts from neighbours reporting loud music or anti-social behaviour resulting from a house party.
Under the Noise Act 2006 it is an offence to a disturbance between the times of 11pm and 7am.
In extreme cases a repeat offender can be liable to a three month prison sentence, and a £2,500 fine - more commonly you’d be issued with a spot fine of £100.
