Summary of request
Request:
Under the Freedom of Information Act 2000, I am requesting the following information regarding dog-related noise complaints in your council area:
1. The total number of complaints received about dog barking between January 2022 and May 2024.
2. If recorded, how many of these complaints referred to barking occurring in early morning hours (between 4:00am and 8:00am)?
3. Any available data or summary that categorises complaints by:
- Time of day
- Reason for complaint (e.g., persistent noise, sleep disturbance, early wake-ups)
Please provide the data in an electronic format (PDF or spreadsheet). If time-of-day data is not routinely recorded, a clarification to that effect is appreciated.
Response:
The GLA is London's strategic government and does not operate in the same way as local councils. We therefore do not hold the information you have requested.
In London you would need to contact the Borough Councils, including the City of London: https://www.londoncouncils.gov.uk/london-directory
