noisy neighbours

Children at a school near Selby have had a play break cancelled and hard ball games banned after neighbours complained to the council about noise.

Barlby Community Primary School has also put up a soundproof fence because it fears a noise abatement order.
Some people need a serious reality check. The school was inspected by ofsted in 1999 (referred to in their 2004 inspection [pdf]) so it's not a new build. Why the fuck would you move near to a school if you don't like the sound of kids playing for a couple of hours a day?

Bought it over the summer they did?

WTF is a sound proof fence?

Ch, even if they bought it over summer, they still ought to look at a map and see what's in the neighbourhood and have a stroll around.

Anyways, there is a simple answer to this - tell the NIMBYs that the playground is going to be sold off to build a block of council flats.

Not just council flats, but a bail hostel for sex offenders, a needle exchange for drug users and oh yes lets not forget a "refuge" for battered wives too.

Ridiculous isn't it? It's like buying a house next to an airport then complaining about the noi.. hang on a minute...
