SEIZED stereos from noisy neighbours have been donated to a children’s charity.
As part of Noise Reduction Day, environmental health officers promised to clamp down on people playing loud music.
Council investigators and police recently seized equipment from an address in Princess Parade, Orpington, after a noise abatement notice was ignored by the householder.
Equipment, including a hi-fi and television set, was removed and has been donated to the Birth Defects Foundation.
Such equipment is usually destroyed but Bromley Council now plans to “recycle” goods by sending them to worthy causes.
Environment cabinet member Councillor George Taylor said: “We’ll take whatever action is necessary to ensure peace and quiet.”
