Weekdays 6-9am and Saturdays 7-9am How to listen to Today
the quiet conference banner

29 April 2008

Making a noise about peace and quiet

Noisy neighbours, cacophonous cars or the nuisance on the train with his mobile.

Since the 1960s the area of听England affected by noise and visual intrusion has doubled. Parts of our cities are now 10 times noisier than a decade ago. In a noisier world, peace and tranquillity are becoming harder to find.

How can we protect places that provide this and what should the government be doing to help? Where听do you find spiritual and mental refreshment?

These are the questions being debated at The Quiet Conference hosted by the UK Noise Association, the Campaign to Protect Rural England and the Quiet Garden Movement.听
