Harrogate Borough Council has told a grandmother that she needs to remove her trampoline after a noise complaint.

Angela Hutchinson, who lives on a council estate in the Jennyfields area of town, has until the end of today to take it down.

The trampoline is in the communal garden. Ms Hutchinson believes all the neighbours who share the garden are OK with it.

But a council officer has told her that it has received a noise complaint so she needs to remove the trampoline.

A rather upset Ms Hutchinson told the Stray Ferret:

"So it's really sad that we have to take this down, just because one person does not like the noise.
"It's not that it's every day, but I've got to take it down. This is a shame, I wanted to resolve it peacefully.
"I would happily have a conversation with the person who has complained, to make sure it is not used when they are sleeping or anything like that."


Harrogate Borough Council has confirmed that it has asked Ms Hutchinson to take down the trampoline and said the noise levels are "not acceptable".

“A trampoline, placed on a communal garden area that is owned by the council, is being used by a number of individuals not associated with the residential property in question.
“It is being used for extended periods of the day, both during the week and at weekends. The noise levels created are also not acceptable.
“Therefore, we have requested that the owner of the trampoline needs to remove it.”
