00:00Here's today's Derbyshire Times video bulletin.
00:03A Derbyshire couple has been hit with a £3,000 fine for a noise nuisance caused by their barking dogs.
00:10Bolsover District Council successfully prosecuted the couple of Mansfield Road in Glapwell
00:14for breaching a noise abatement notice which disturbed residents' peace and enjoyment of their homes.
00:20The council received a noise complaint regarding barking dogs in October 2023
00:24and after investigation found that multiple dogs were left to bark for extensive periods.
00:30The couple were issued with an abatement notice giving them 21 days to comply.
00:34However the noise nuisance continued and the defendants breached the notice.
00:39Bolsover District Council Cabinet Member for the Environment, Councillor Rob Heine Saunders said
00:43Barking comes naturally to dogs but the owners had the opportunity to deal with the situation and failed to do so
00:49so we took action.
00:50The noise caused by these dogs caused a great lived disruption and distress to the local residents and the neighbourhood.
00:56It simply was not fair.
00:58This is a clear message we want to send to people that dog owners must take responsibility for their pets
01:03and the noise nuisances of any nature will not be tolerated.
01:09New lighting and a partial re-roofing are proposed for Chesterfield Market Hall
01:13under planning application submitted to the Borough Council.
01:15The council is applying for listed building consent from its planning department to replace façade lights
01:21in line with current standards and install additional complementary heritage lighting.
01:26An application submitted by Ben Mitchell on behalf of the council
01:29stated there had been various public consultations and engagement sessions with market traders,
01:34residents and businesses about wider town centre improvements.
01:37He wrote,
01:38Lighting of public areas is key to safety and the operation of the town centre.
