What is Kew Gardens doing about noise control from events?
We make every effort to control noise and pay very close attention to the needs of the local community. We have recently installed a new system that is truly effective. It consists of sound limiting equipment, adding sound proofing measures to certain venues and monitoring the sound at larger events. Sound levels of outdoor concerts are monitored by the local Council and kept within acceptable limits, although we are aware that occasionally there are freak weather conditions that ‘funnel’ the sound in unexpected directions. We will continue to work closely with Richmond Borough Council to ensure that their noise control requirements are strictly met.
