Nobody should have to put up with constant noise and disturbances from neighbours. Laurie Edmundson, our Community Safety Manager, shares tools and tips for a peaceful summer.
Record and report noisy neighbours
Our Noise App offers a quick and easy way to report the problem of noisy neighbours to Karbon. The app, which is free to download from the App Store for iPhone users, or the Play Store for android users, allows you to record, rate and report noise disturbance.
The app recordings can help us quickly establish if there is a problem and that the disturbance isn’t just the noise of everyday living.
For more information visit www.karbonhomes.co.uk/anti-social-behaviour, or for help downloading or using the app give us a call 0808 164 0111.
Get a witness to a problem you’re experiencing
Our out-of-hours iWitness service is an accredited, independent team of officers who gather evidence of anti-social behaviour discreetly and efficiently. They provide credible witness statements accepted by the courts, meaning we can build a better case without needing to give evidence yourself.
On call when our offices are closed, the professional witnesses can be on site within approximately 30 minutes. Equipped with cameras and recording equipment, they will observe what is happening – before producing a detailed report for Karbon.
Just call our number and if it’s out of hours, advisers will offer you iWitness services for incidents happening at the time of the call. In an emergency, always call the police on 999, or 101 for less serious incidents. Report crime anonymously to Crimestoppers on 0800 555 111.
