“Not only does this appear to be a waste of taxpayers’ money but it does also seem rather intrusive. Surely councils have more pressing matters to deal with?”
In the investigation into how much councils spend on romping couples, only 28 out of 418 across the nation were willing to share how much they spent on these investigations.
According to the findings, the boroughs spent £3791.35 on their investigations which means that the figure for the whole country would be approximately £56,000 if all of the councils had provided their figures.
In 2017, not one person was taken to court over the noise complaints even though there were plenty of those. In years prior to that, offenders were taken to court as is known intimately by 23-year-old Gemma Wale.
In 2015, she was given a two-week prison sentence after being handed a court order. She breached her Asbo when a postman and a woman taking her child to school had complained saying that you “could hear her screaming and moaning from the other side of the road.”
49-year-old Caroline Cartwright of Newcastle breached an Asbo for the fourth time in 2010 and was handed a 12-week prison term. Cartwright had been “shouting and screaming” during sex with loud dance music playing for years and the Newcastle Crown Court had heard about this.
