Question to the Department for Transport:
To ask the Secretary of State for Transport, what steps his Department is taking to support (a) local authorities and (b) the police on ensuring those bodies have the resources to enforce rules on vehicles which create excessive noise.
It is for the Home Secretary to determine matters of police resourcing.
To support enforcement efforts, the Department for Transport has commenced further research to understand if the latest 'noise camera' technology can be an effective tool for the police and local authorities that will enable more targeted and efficient enforcement.
