UK residents risk fines for mowing at unsociable hours

Homeowners risk fines up to £5,000 for mowing their lawns at unsociable hours, potentially disrupting neighbors. Local authorities can issue Noise Abatement Notices. Mowing is generally acceptable between 8 am and 8 pm on weekdays. Weekend mowing is advised between 9 am and 7 pm to be considerate of neighbors. While there's no national restriction, local councils enforce noise regulations under the Environmental Protection Act 1990, with specific times varying by area.
