Hendon school on notice over noise
Talmud Torah Tiferes Shlomo school will not be able to host a wedding in June after being served with a legal noise abatement notice.
A barmitzvah celebration scheduled for June on the premises of the Talmud Torah Tiferes Shlomo school in Hendon will now be unable to take place after Barnet Council served the establishment with a legal noise
abatement notice.
The Danescroft Avenue school and residents of the small cul-de-sac have been in dispute for months over what the latter say is unacceptable noise when the school hires out its hall, often for events or fundraising efforts.
Last week, three members of the Council’s licensing committee decided the application to hold the barmitzvah could go ahead, after noise abatement officers visited the premises during another, separate event. But this application was cancelled and a legal notice has now been served on the school. It means the school is required to stop an “unacceptable” noise level and take steps to prevent it from reoccurring.
Failure to comply could mean prosecution and a fine of up to £5,000 per offence.
