Noise Abatement

Tower Hamlets Council should be able to help with most forms of noise pollution

We can help with most problems, complaints or enquiries concerning residential and commercial noise, including the following:

• DIY, amplified music, musical instruments, domestic appliances, leisure activities, hobbies, parties
• car alarms (including breaking into vehicles to disarm the alarm)
• burglar alarms (including entering buildings to switch off the alarm)
• construction (including serving notices and taking action through the courts)
• street noise, for example, stationary vehicles with engines running, refrigerator units, car repairs, audio systems in stationary vehicles.

• How to contact us

Public Realm - the state of streets and pavements

• General.Enquiries@towerhamlets.gov.uk is the email to contact the council - but it's nowhere near as fast as FixmyStreet if you want a problem in the street fixed fast!  
• Fixmystreet - HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.  Report, view, or discuss local problems (like graffiti, fly tipping, broken paving slabs, or street lighting).  You can monitor your request on the website and this site generally generates very fast response times.  We think that fact that the problem is broadcast and recorded on the website is what generates the fast response times.  Mile End is filling up with incidents flagged up my MERA!
• Living Streets  Living Streets want local people to work with their council to strip their street of clutter and co-ordinate street furniture like bins and lights as well as activities like bin collections.
• Tower Hamlets Council links to:
  
• Report a missed household waste collection
• Report a fly-tip on a council estate
• Report a fly-tip on a public road
