Teviot

We understand the adverse effects of noise nuisance on residents’ quality of life.

Most noise reports we receive are related to household noise rather than antisocial behaviour. Where that is the case, our Community Safety team will offer mediation as the resolution.

Where noise is considered antisocial, such as persistent and excessively loud music, we will follow our antisocial behaviour process and will take enforcement action when necessary.

If you are reporting noise, you will be asked to use the Noise app and send us evidence of the issues. If you don’t have a smart phone to use the Noise app, we will install noise monitoring equipment for a week.

Many of our residents view their pets as beloved companions, and having pets can bring many benefits for physical and mental wellbeing. We promote animal welfare and support our residents in providing excellent care for their pets.

It’s important that pets are properly managed. In line with legal requirements, all cats and dogs must be microchipped.

We will address any issues that arise from pet ownership, such as pets causing disturbances, being aggressive, damaging property, or leaving messes in shared spaces.

In the UK, it’s against the law to own certain types of dog. Whether your dog is a banned type depends on what it looks like, rather than its breed or name.

It’s a criminal offence to own or possess an XL Bully dog in England and Wales unless you have a valid Certificate of Exemption.

It’s against the law to:

• sell a banned dog
• abandon a banned dog
• give away a banned dog
• breed from a banned dog

If you believe that your neighbour or someone in the community is doing any of the above it is important that you report it to the Police online or call 101 if the dog is out of control.
