UK councils fine noisy lawn mowers up to £5,000

Homeowners could face fines up to £5,000 for mowing their lawns during unsociable hours, as local councils enforce noise regulations. Councils can issue noise abatement notices, restricting lawn mowing during specific times deemed disruptive. Weekday mowing is generally permitted from 8am to 8pm, while weekend guidelines suggest 9am to 7pm. Legal experts advise checking local council regulations, as non-compliance with noise restrictions can lead to prosecution and significant fines.
