FED-UP Glasgow residents have lodged more than 24,000 noise complaints to the council over the last five years – with loud parties, DIY and barking dogs among the nuisance sounds.

The figures released exclusively to the Glasgow Times under Freedom of Information laws, show that Wyndford Road in the city’s Maryhill received the highest number of domestic calls, with 166 recorded by the local authority.

Most of these are related to antisocial behaviour, including shouting, banging on floors and walls, blaring amplified music and unacceptable noise levels from rowdy parties.

The data also revealed some more unusual nuisances left people at the end of their tether, ranging from musical instruments being played too loudly to rumblings from noisy domestic appliances.

Glasgow Times:

The figures showed a total of 24,009 reports were made to the council with 4608 lodged in 2017, 2749 in 2018, 4266 in 2019, 3738 in 2020, 3717 in 2021 and 3931 in 2022.

Council officers were also called to give advice to residents on antisocial behaviour in Broomhill Lane, Duke Street, Crow Road, Great Western Road, Earl Street, Napier Place and Wynford Road, which were all highlighted as among the city's loudest places.

Other noise complaints were related to DIY projects on Plean Street and Broadwood Drive, while dogs barking sparked anger among residents in Leslie Road, Muirdykes Road, Hartlaw Crescent and Patterton Range Drive.

Glasgow Times:

A total of 17,377 issues around noise coming from commercial premises across Glasgow were also logged, with 26 statutory warnings handed out in the past five years.

Glasgow City Council has powers to serve abatement notices on individuals who are making too much noise, which require them to stop or limit it. If the person fails to comply, they can be prosecuted and fined at the Sheriff Court.

Mediation services are also available to resolve antisocial behaviour through support and early intervention. The free service can be used in any situation where there is conflict, with the warring parties assisted to 'talk things through' and try to find common ground.

He said: “I’ve witnessed loud parties and antisocial behaviour in the area over the years. In fact, I’ve had to register complaints myself due to how loud the music coming from a property close to me has been.

“There’s obviously an issue here, and the high number of complaints back that up. I think people should be more mindful of their neighbours' needs and, while we can all be tolerant of the odd party, no-one wants to be kept awake late at night because of unacceptable antisocial behaviour.”

A spokesperson for Glasgow City Council added: "Our noise teams investigate complaints about noise from domestic properties and commercial premises. Officers deal with reports about all types of domestic amplified noise including loud music, dogs barking, DIY and musical instruments.

“They have the power to enter premises to carry out investigations or to arrange work to prevent a statutory nuisance. Where nuisance noise is witnessed by officers they can instruction those responsible to take action to prevent it.

“Officers also have the power to confiscate equipment such as speakers and issue fixed penalty notices ranging from £100 to £400 dependent on the circumstances.”
