Anyone else noticed they've been particularly loud recently?


Beauregard, my son, runs crying into my room at 5am sharp every morning when these beastly things begin their tuneless braying.


WHY are the council not doing anything? Is this not what I pay my council tax for? When I used to live in Hampshire we used to sort things like this out the old-fashioned way - with birds of prey and shotguns - I'll wager those Southwark council beaurocrats have some petty bylaw against this, as usual.

    • Considering the private revision study that my children undertook, perhaps 15 to 20 years ago in that library it seems a shame they have timed the refurbishment so it won't be open at this crucial time for children. But hey, so long as it's greener... 
    • Enforcement costs money which I doubt the fines actually pay for. Presumably it hasn't been a priority.

    • Per Cllr McAsh, as quoted above: “We are currently updating our Enforcement Policy and changes will allow for the issuing of civil penalties ranging from £175 to £300 for visible smoke emissions, replacing the previous reliance on criminal prosecution. " Is anyone au fait with the Clean Air Act 1993, and  particularly with the state of 'Smoke Control' law and practice generally?  I've just been looking  through some of it for the first time and, afaics, the civil penalties mentioned  were introduced into the Clean Air Act, at Schedule 1A, in May 2022.  So it seems that, in this particular,  it's a matter of the enforcement policy trailing well behind the legislation.  I'm not criticising that at all, but am curious.
