Noise Action Week event in Ballymena
This year an event will be taking place in Ballymena on Wednesday, 23rd May at Halfords car park between 9.30am and 4.00pm.
Targeting dog barking - Last year almost 50% of noise complaints received by the council’s Environmental Services Department related to barking dogs.

Officers will be available on the day to discuss this information and advise on other types of noise complaints such as those resulting from domestic, transport and commercial activities.
Microchipping - New legislation introduced in April of this year requires that every dog owner must have their pet microchipped.
The council will no longer issue a licence for your dog unless it has been implanted with a microchip.
