featured concerns<\/a> from Councillor Andrew Carter (Cons, Calverley & Farsley) that late-night fireworks coming from were \u2018completely out of hand\u2019 and has called for both councils and the police to work together to resolve the late-night disturbances.<\/p>\n\u201cIt really is time for action\u201d he said. \u201cThe police\u2019s reputation is not being done any good by a lack of action.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a Facebook post last month, Cllr Peter Carlill (Lab, Calverley & Farsley) wrote: \u201cIt is illegal to set off fireworks between 11pm and 7am, except on specific days such as Bonfire Night, New Years Eve, Diwali and Chinese New Year, which have extensions. As much as a nuisance, fireworks being set off late in the evening, unless being set off in a public place, police cannot do anything before 11pm.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe issue here is frustratingly more difficult as most of the reports are from venues that fall under the jurisdiction of the Neighbourhood Policing Team in Bradford East and Bradford council. From my close contact with the police and council officers we know that they have contacted their counterparts in Bradford, who are dealing with the issue.\u201d<\/p>\n
Leeds City Council has now issued a comment on the late-night noise issues, which have also affected people living in Pudsey and Farnley.<\/p>\n
A spokesperson for the council said: \u201cWe are aware of reports from residents in Farsley and Calverley about noise from fireworks at night.<\/p>\n
\u201c\u2018We are working together with Bradford Council and West Yorkshire Police to respond to these complaints.\u201d<\/p>\n
Following WLD\u2019s last report on the issue, resident Vivienne Smith commented: \u201cNight after night fireworks are disturbing our sleep as they begin long after the legal deadline of 11pm. No care for others with pets and babies. If no action is taken against them it will continue and get worse. What is happening to our lovely Pudsey area?\u201d<\/p>\n
And D Davidson added: \u201cThe real difficulty is when you try and report these issues as they \u2018need to know specifically where the fireworks are being set off\u2019 which is the difficult issue in Pudsey as you can just see that the general direction is across towards Bradford.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt is deeply disappointing that despite the assurances given and the apparent existence of enforcement powers, the situation continues to deteriorate. Residents feel increasingly ignored and let down by the lack of visible action from those agencies tasked with upholding the law.\u201d<\/p>\n
Officers from the Calverley and Farsley neighbourhood policing team\u00a0last month said<\/a>\u00a0they were tackling the anti-social use of fireworks in the area, working alongside partner agencies to take action against repeat offenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Leeds City Council says it is aware of issues with late-night fireworks affecting people living in Calverley and…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":394626,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[8814],"tags":[748,393,4884,1860,16,15],"class_list":{"0":"post-394625","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-leeds","8":"tag-britain","9":"tag-england","10":"tag-great-britain","11":"tag-leeds","12":"tag-uk","13":"tag-united-kingdom"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@uk\/115140585622591399","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394625","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=394625"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/394625\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/394626"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=394625"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=394625"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=394625"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
