The external works to form steps and a landscaped area etc. are progressing slowly to the front of the hall. A response is in from the Council Officer following recent complaints from local residents about alleged excessive noise “out-of-hours” coming from Wentworth Hall, 80 Ruskin Road, Carshalton at the corner with Woodstock Road.

Dear Councillor

One of my officers Mark Ross visited Wentworth Hall this afternoon Friday 12 July and discussed the complaint about noise with one of the Board Members who happened to be on site. He was not aware that there had been an issue. Mark was invited in and was able to view the internal layout of the hall and the gentlemen said that although they did not keep the doors open, identified a window at the front of the property that may have  been contributing to an escape of noise.  This window has now been locked shut and will remain so.  My officer was also given two contact numbers should there be further problems.

The council does operate an out of hours noise service so would be able to respond to complaints of late night noise.

Yours sincerely

Jan Gransden, Head of Regulatory Services, Environment and Neighbourhoods, 24 Denmark Road, Carshalton SM5 2JG Tel: 020 8770 5550
