Harringay, Haringey - So Good they Spelt it Twice!
One too many parties for noisy students
A group of students are each £200 worse off because they refused to turn down their noisy music.
Highgate Magistrates last week ruled that the students had overstepped the mark when they held a noisy party in January this year.
Three students all pleaded guilty to causing noise nuisance in Maryland Road, N22.
The students had been formally warned twice in November about excessive noise disturbing their neighbours but still held another noisy party.
After more complaints from neighbours, council noise enforcement officers visited and found loud music and 20-30 people on a sheltered decking area in the rear garden, with mixing desks and speakers.
The speakers and guests were moved indoors and the students were warned the equipment may be confiscated if there were further complaints. They were all issued with fixed penalty notices of £100.
When the students failed to pay the penalties, the case want to court and on 23rd May, the three students pleaded guilty and were each fined £100 and ordered to pay £100 each towards the prosecution costs.
For complaints about noise contact:
020 8489 1000 during office hours, or
020 8348 3148 evenings and weekends

That's interesting to hear. We've been kept awake by some noisy parties in Cavendish Road in the last month. When the weather is hot, they party in the garden and we hear everything and it goes on most of the night. We don't even live in Cavendish road, we live in Duckett Road! So we lie there in frustration, hoping that someone in Cavendish road will ask them to keep the noise down, but it just goes on all night....

If the Noise Patrol officers can hear it from your premises, you can call them out yourself. I've always found them to be very helpful, and their warnings have worked for us. But apparently they failed on Monday night to stop a probably illegal party in the yard behind the Seven Sisters market - they were concerned it would cause a riot if they tried to stop it, but at least that one ended at midnight. Still trying to find out how it happened and how they got access.
