A MUM and daughter have been fined by courts after playing Enrique Iglesias songs so loud they could be heard 100 METRES away.
Paula Green, 38, and her daughter Carla, 18, were both hauled before magistrates after neighbours claimed their street was like a "nightclub".
But Green blamed her daughter claiming she never played her music as loudly as Carla who blared out dance act Basshunter at an unacceptably high volume.
Crooner
The wacko mother was fined £505 and her daughter £190 at separate hearings before Doncaster magistrates after they admitted breaching noise abatement orders.
Green played music by the Spanish crooner so loud it could be heard in the next street.
But her solicitor said it was unlikely her cheap stereo could have generated so much noise and Green claimed her daughter played music even louder.
Carla said she played her music at a “normal level” but the volume was so high that environmental health officers could identify each word of the songs in a neighbour’s house.
Three televisions and several stereos were seized from the house in Cantley, Doncaster, South Yorks.
Next-door neighbour Katy Smith, a single mum with daughters of seven and one, said after the hearings that the Greens had made her life a misery.
The neighbours from hell moved to the street from Huill in October 2007.
She said: “It’s like living in a nightclub here. It is through the day and through the night.
“My kids have been woken up by the shouting and my eldest daughter has had to move bedrooms.
“Before I used to come home from work and I’d go and see the neighbours. Now I’m worried if anyone is outside.
“I’m frightened to have the kids outside the front of the house. My girls should not have to hear what they have heard.”
Jane Miller, Doncaster Council’s director of neighbourhoods, said the council is still monitoring the Greens house to prevent further incidents.
She said: “Officers from the Safer Neighbourhoods Patrol Team will increase patrols in the area to ensure that residents feel safe within their community.”
