The Leamington Avenue party had a marquee in the garden so the sound carried further than for a party held indoors. A couple of weeks previously a party in Oaktree Gardens caused similar problems. People holding parties don't realise how much the noise carries and that a large proportion of the estate were being kept awake. There are often sick people, people with small children and people who just need a decent night's sleep.
If you are affected by such a problem and you don't feel that explaining the problem to the people holding a party will have much effect you can report it to Bromley Council at the following web page:-
