Tackling Noisy Cars: Acoustic Cameras for Edgware Road

We spoke with Cllrs Heather Acton, Antonia Cox and Rachael Robathan about people's concerns over excessively noisy cars.

So, Heather, we've been hearing from lots of people in Park West that they have their sleep disturbed at night by noisy cars coming down Edgware Road. What are you planning to do about it?

Heather explains 

Well, Westminster City Council already has two acoustic cameras elsewhere in Westminster. But the Government has announced a trial, and I've raised it with our MP, Nickie Aiken. 

She has written to Grant Shapps and hopefully, we're a priority for this area to go on the acoustic camera list where we would be able to catch cars making excessive noise at night. 

That would be a real benefit for this area, a real coup for the local councillors.

Affected by supercars? Let Nickie know

Supercars, fast and noisy cars and motorbikes. Nickie Aiken, Member of Parliament for the Cities of London & Westminster, hears too often from local people across the constituency about the plague many cause in neighbourhoods.
