Beware you'd find yourself in trouble.

 

We once had travellers move onto the car park next to our Transport yard, they complained about the noise we were making with Truck movements in and out at night.

 

The council ran noise checks and wanted to restrict our working hours as we were disturbing the local community (on an industrial estate, with no houses)

In the USA they play Classical Music, especially Opera in shopping malls to run off the yobbo youth troublemakers.

 

Perhaps we all get some speakers, and a big Amp and do the same?

(with free earplugs to Penn Street residents of course)
