Complaint about Ice-cream van

An ice-cream van parks outside my house every night after 19:00 playing loud
distorted music/chimes. (My neighbour told me that it is a nuisance to her as
well as her young kids want an ice-cream when they've gone to bed !)

I phoned local environmental health to complain giving them Registration number
and the logo "Joe Bloggs Ices"

They have got back to me and said that they need to have the make of the
vehicle and its colour before they can investigate.

Do they really need that info to identify the owner via the DVLA: I would have
expected that they had privileged on-line access to the DVLA and they could
just put reg in and get the details. Is that not the case? The officer from
EH said that they need all info as they have to "send-off" a completed form to
the DVLA.

Probably just trying to make it awkward for you to formally complain.

Just out of interest what restrictions apply to outdoor business noise? As
the crow flies I live approximately six miles from the site of Hull Fair,
but when the wind is in the right (wrong) direction I can easily hear the
music being blared out. I'm sure if my business could be heard from that
distance I'd be prosecuted.

I fancy that it is all tied up with the legal concept of nuisance. It is not an offence to make a noise, even a loud one at any time. In order to uphold a complain however, there has to be elements of persistence and annoyance present.

I do know that in order to get the environmental health department involved it is necessary to collect evidence by keeping a log over time of incidents and even making recordings of scientific measurements of the nuisance involved.

I guessed it would be something along those lines, and certainly didn't
expect any complaint against the fair being upheld - especially as the local
council provide the land and licence the event.

A word with the person concerned seems to be the right thing to do in
the first instance. But if the person cuts up rough, they'll guess who
made the formal complaint if it gets to that stage.

When I was driving an ice cream van the law stated that the chimes
couldn't be used after 7pm and before (I thunk) 7am.

There are definitely laws banning their usage at certain times.

I can imagine you have done that a lot - every time your neighbour has a
barbecue, whenever someone plays reggae music, the times your neighbour
uses the vacuum cleaner past 7pm or uses their lawnmower on a Sunday.

The calls will have an extra level of self-righteousness if your
neighbours have done anything that identifies them as gay.

Usual incorrect rubbish from you:

Code of Practice on Noise from Ice-Cream Van Chimes Etc. in England 2013

It is an offence under section 62 of the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (CoPA)
to use a loudspeaker in the street. There is a specific exception for the
operation of loudspeakers fixed to vehicles used to convey and sell perishable
commodities for human consumption to the public, such as ice-cream, provided
that they do not give reasonable cause for annoyance to persons in the
vicinity.

REMEMBER: It is an offence to sound your chimes before 12.00 noon or after 7.00
pm.

People in Aberdeen allegedly install double glazing so the wee bairns cannot hear the ice cream van. Perhaps you could do the same - it would probably pay for itself with fuel cost savings.

Tell her our kids never got out of bed to eat ice cream. That's just poor child rearing skills.

It all revolves around the colour of the van driver's skin.

If he's brown or black, and you're white, officialdom will do all it can to discourage your complaint. Not only that - you are in danger of being jailed for hate crime of you insist on going further down this road.

For example, look at this story:
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2919918/Neighbour-convicted-assault-throwing-WATER-woman-noisy-children-door-garden.html

While I don't recommend throwing water at children, unless they're your own and are asking for it...

...........just consider the stupidity of a white English woman making an official complaint against someone with the name Afshan Iqbal. After all these years, does that white woman not know how things are in this country?

I realise that your neighbours would not want to speak to you at all - and very
wise of them: but in some areas they do - sharing issues with each other.
Where is it you live now, as far as your neighbours are concerned? Coventry?

I have an ice cream van and we are just trying to make a living like everyone else. We have our regular customers all through winter otherwise we wouldn't be wasting our diesel going round.

Perhaps they have children and are 'hassled' when the ice-cream van
visits perhaps once a day.

I used to have lollies in the freezer for such occasions.

It sounds like very bad luck to "live next door to an ice cream van"
(which must mean living next door to an inconsiderate neighbour who
parks a commercial vehicle on his drive, or worse, on the road).

Why should anyone have to put up with it in what must be a residential
area? Would it be alright to park a skip lorry in the same way?

In this case, do you mean the freedom to leave your engine running, or
the freedom not to be disturbed in your home by an engine left running
outside? The two freedoms conflict.

Likewise, in the USA, there's the freedom to gun people down
willy-nilly, and the freedom not to be gunned down.

I don't think it's ever been legal to permanently park signed vans in
residential roads. Speak to the local authority. Running businesses from
home which cause a nuisance is also a no no.

I knew someone doing just this with an ice cream van who got a letter
from the council telling them to stop.

Careful though. Some people in the ice cream business are heavy.

Yes, ice cream van turf wars can get rather nasty; so I presume the vendors
are not unaccustomed to a bit of aggro towards anyone who affects their
business in a detrimental way.

I presume the engine is left running in order to supply power to the
chiller/freezer units in the back of the van; and prolong the life of the van
battery?

Leaving an engine running on a public street contravenes section 42 of the
1988 Road Traffic Act, although the clause in question does add
*un-neccessarily* to the engine running scenario. The ice cream vendor would
argue that it is necessary for his business to have the engine on.

The 1988 Act was more concerned with the extra pollution emitted by idling
vehicles, and this might be a more likely avenue to explore with the local
council.

The working class does in the US. I believe it's the norm
there. Oh, I thought you meant calling signed parked vans "home" and
bothering businesses "a la Walmart". I'm on my first coffee...
The other way round would be illegal in a truly free country.

The US environment was buggered years ago when they let GM crossbred weeds
out into the wider countryside. Now even the strongest herbicides ever
invented will not kill them without killing every living thing within a 20
mile radius.

No one will be able to clear that shit up.

Of course no one cares because they have big national parks where the
surviving species are corralled and journalists are allowed to film.

You will not find quite so many Monarch butterflies in the USA as you would
have done 50 years ago.

Why? One word - Roundup.

Yanks chuck it around as if it was water - and what has happened in the last
thirty years?

Monarch butterfly numbers have fallen by 90%. Yes 90% - in 30 years.

And all because of the obsession with cheap junk food which is killing the
population but making a killing in profits for a few greedy billionaires.


Norman Wells

Coincidence is not the same as causation. Roundup is not toxic to
butterflies so is not directly to blame.

It is of course toxic to weeds, which is why it is used. It means crops
can grow free from massive weed competition and thus give reasonable
yields. If it weren't for Roundup, farmers would have to use another
herbicide, probably one that is far less safe to the environment.

The scientifically illiterate green lobby would love of course to see it
banned because they hate big business, especially big chemical business
(which they don't understand), and particularly the biggest ogre of all,
Monsanto. But they don't have any scientific justification, and their
concern is largely synthetic.

It's got nothing to do with politics, right wing or otherwise. It's

Didn't you read what the editors say before the article?

What they're saying is 'take it with a huge pinch of salt'.

Hello, food in sufficient quantity to feed the world. For the time
being anyway.

You can hanker after a non-existent golden age that's passed if you
like. Someone sensible has to take the hard decisions, though, like how
to feed a world population that is increasing by 40% every 50 years from
a finite planet.

The current population growth rate is estimated at 1.09% pa, which
equates to around 70% over 50 years. But, that is about half the growth
rate compared to the peak in 1962/63.

And if that doesn't scare you, I don't know what will.

We have no control over it, and everyone turns a blind eye.

Nothing will be done until it's too late.

You fail.

On April 23, 2018, the FCC's repealing of net neutrality rules went into
effect.

No one even nticed.

United Kingdom[edit]
In comparison to the United States, the debate concerning Net Neutrality is
one that has not received much attention in the United Kingdom. The
officials merely refer to such a concept as an open internet, as net
neutrality is a term used originally in American politics. While it does
seem to be a non-issue in the UK, there is indeed a defining characteristic
in the neutrality debate there, as the arguments are often shaped by
regulators. Also, these arguments are often influenced by the discourse of
other countries in Europe, so much of the discussions that the UK has about
open internet will be linked with those of other European countries listed
on this page.[77]

From the socialist bible

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Net_neutrality_by_country#United_Kingdom



In 2007, Plusnet was using deep packet inspection to implement limits and
differential charges for peer-to-peer, file transfer protocol, and online
game traffic.[78] However, their network management philosophy was made
clear for each package they sold, and was consistent between different
websites.[79]

It is too late. When I was a student, 55 years ago, the population just
turned 3 bn. Now it is 7.6 bn.

There is built in growth, as so much of the population is under 16, and
they can hardly be expected not to have any kids.

The only bright point is that the growth rate is on a downward trend.

yet the African nations are further behind than they were then.

The world could stop sending them food and the population will decrease.

The LA have all the details of these annoying people. They need it all in order to issue them a licence.
There is absolutely no consideration for those who work night shift and just get off to sleep when they are blasted out of bed by chimes that are LOUDER than the sirens of emergency vehicles!
They should be banned altogether!

I believe their licence applies to hours between noon and 7 pm.

The ice-cream was too running and made a mess of my hand. The ice-cream man didn't shave his face properly.

All four tyres where different makes.

That was out of order.
