What a pathetic fine!! And why didn't they confiscate his noise-making machinery??? Still at least he's got a record now.

That's what I thought too! Not much of a deterrent either is it?! http://www.nfh.org.uk/forums/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/huh.gif
It's a total pittance to what he has put people through.
The fines should be higher and harsher.

That just makes me mad. I think I'm going to Ranters Corner tonight.
But £340? Like Misty says, they should have confiscated his "noise-creators".
While I'm on this, they should also have a banning order from him ever possessing a noise creator in the future, until he attends a "Noise Creating Management Course".
Every neighbour who suffered as a result of his noise creation should have submitted a small claim at the same time: Loss of sleep (priceless); loss of concentration (priceless); prescription costs; cost of earplug purchase; re-imbursements for calls made/ paper used on letters.
What do the victims get out of this? To know that the culprit has had to lay out a "small" amount of money? Gee whizz.

I thought that victims these days were supposed to have more of a say in the sentencing of perpetrators. Or is that something i've imagined? Or is that just about theft?
Why can't we claim for the disruption we've suffered as a result of the perpetrators of noise-creation/ ASB/ harassment etc.?
But, haven't these perpetrators stolen something from us? Yes, of course they have. They have stolen the quiet enjoyment of our homes and our lives.
