Church leaders fined for "noise pollution" Apr 7th 2012, 08:49 Ha! Ha! http://freethinker.co.uk/2012/04/06/...ise-pollution/ Quote: DRIVEN mental by the caterwauling emanating over a four-year period from the New Generation Church in David Lane, neighbours filed repeated complaints to Nottingham City Council about noise pollution. But, according to this report, the local authority's pleas to the church to dampen down the din fell of deaf ears. In a bid to resolve the situation, the council also gave advice to the church on ways of reducing the noise levels, but this too was ignored by the arrogant, anti-social idiots who run this unruly establishment. Matters came to a head when Deacon Everton Lewis-Gordon and pastor Sean Samuel appeared before magistrates in Nottingham charged under the Environmental Protection Act with noise nuisance. The charges against the deacon were withdrawn but Samuel was fined a total of £360 and ordered to pay costs of £300 to Nottingham City Council... ...In Nigeria the authorities are more heavy-handed when it comes to this sort of thing. A news report on YouTube reveals that the Lagos State Government has shut down the Lord's Chosen Charismatic Ministry and six other churches in Lagos, Southwest Nigeria over the intolerable levels of noise they were producing in a bid to get God's attention.
