The Leisure and Environment committee last night voted in principle to reintroduce the Out of Hours Noise Service from April 2008. Several Englefield Green residents have been in touch with me voicing their concerns about the abolition of the service.
The initial recommendation to reinstate the service came following a spirited meeting of the Review Board on 11th October where several local residents attended the committee to make their views heard.
The financial burden of the service, previously provided via an external contractor from 2003 and March 2007, was previously shared with three other Councils in the county (Elmbridge, Epsom & Ewell and Woking) at a cost of £10,500 a year. It was the view of this committee that the financial cost of the service represented good value for money for local residents.
