A pet owner faces a steep fine due to his rooster’s excessive crowing, disrupting neighbors early in the morning.
A guy must pay over £3,000 because of his noisy rooster. His neighbors complained a lot about the crowing. Council workers went to his place to check the noise. They recorded the rooster crowing 76 times in 50 minutes, early in the morning, using special sound equipment.
The council had investigated before and found too much crowing daily. The owner received a warning about the noise, giving him time to control his rooster.
The owner did not work with the council, so the case went to court. He did not show up; the court fined him £660. He also owed more money, including victim costs and council fees.
He did not pay, and the council’s lawyers now handle his case. A neighbor said the crowing was a nightmare; it happened early and even all day. She felt it wasn’t right.
Councilman Steve Pickering spoke, saying they act on noise complaints. They help people avoid such issues and asked people to contact them for advice.
