Dj Fined For Noisy Music

A DJ has been fined for playing music too loud in his council flat.

 

Jamie Crook disturbed his neighbours in Thornley Close, Abingdon — just yards from the town’s police station — on a regular basis.

 

He was taken to court and fined £75 and ordered to pay £100 court costs for breaching a noise abatement notice.

 

The 21-year-old pleaded guilty at Didcot Magistrates’ Court, to breaking the conditions of an enforcement notice, which he was served by environmental health officers in December, following a string of complaints about loud music coming from his flat.

 

He has now been threatened with eviction.

 

Magistrates heard Crook had received letters from the Vale of White Horse District Council in September and October last year requesting him to turn the volume down.

 

At the end of last year there were more complaints from neighbours about noise.

 

Angela Lawrence, the Vale’s executive member for environmental health, said: “When you are relaxing in the evening, or trying to get to sleep, the last thing you want is to have your peace constantly shattered by your neighbour’s loud music. Anyone who is intent on playing music at unreasonable levels has to ask themselves whether it is worth the risk of ending up in court.”

an interesting name for a bedroom dj living near the local police station,

i havent been able to find his name listed on any of the dj websites yet so i can only think that

the press have done what they do best and branded the profession as antisocial noisy neighbours from hell,

due to the actions of a wannabe with a powerful stereo.
