NOISE MANAGEMENT
All events create a level of noise, which understandably may cause you some concern. However, to reassure you, we have a strong and very experienced independent acoustic management company, that will minimize any disruption and will respond positively to any concerns via our community hotline. They will work closely with the council’s environmental team who will be on site across the weekend.
The noise specialists will be monitoring points both on-site and at properties closest to the site. They will liaise back with the sound engineering teams on site to ensure we keep below pre-agreed noise levels.
If you are concerned about noise during the event please call the community hotline on 07778 209 621
During the build period, the event site is a working construction site and will have plant and machinery operating. We will endeavour to keep any disturbance from construction work and vehicle movements to an absolute minimum.
