The Daily Mail is reporting on the plight of Edgeley Road resident Mark Vella, who is taking Lambeth Council to the High Court for failing to serve a Noise Abatement Notice to his landlords, London and Quadrant Housing Trust. He claims that noise insulation in his converted one-bedroom flat in Elmshurst Mansions is unsatisfactory. The noise of his neighbours (whom Vella isn't blaming) has driven him out of his home for long periods and affected his health. If he wins, experts warn it could turn out expensive for landlords nationwide.
