BLARING RADIOS
Sir,-As a regular subscriber to your journal for a considerable time, I have often wondered that you have not established a "Listeners’ Protection Society" to protect citizens from the blaring radio sets of inconsiderate neighbours. In view of the fact that practically every household has its own radio and its own preference in the matter of programmes, it is astonishing that any small inconsiderate section should be allowed to disturb a whole neighbourhood. There seems to be no local or other authority to deal with offenders, and surely there is nothing more exasperating than the distorted blaring of a radio two or three doors: away. From inquiries made there are evidently very many people who have tried to get some local body or controlling authority to deal with their grievances, but in vain, Could you inform me _ whether there is any authority in Wellington which is responsible for the peace of the community so far as» roisy radios are concerned? I believe the National Broadcasting Service would be performing a further great public service if it would institute legislation to deal with
offenders.-
HARASSED
NEIGHBOUR
(Wellington).
(There is the same protection against radio as against other noises: if it becomes a public nuisance, the aggrieved person may take action.- Ed. )
