The people of Noel Park have been able to dump their alarm clocks after the dawn of a wholly unexpected and unwanted morning chorus. Residents of the Whymark Road area have been subjected to the morning calls of a local rooster crowing as early as 4am from a nearby garden. Neighbours are now spitting feathers and have threatened to take matters into their own hands. Local Liberal Democrat councillors have asked that Haringey Council investigate the situation and take the appropriate action to alleviate the disturbance.
Cllr Catherine Harris (Noel Park) comments:
“If Foghorn Leghorn lived nearby then most people would be upset. It is unacceptable for people to cope with noise and disturbances. Haringey Council should ensure that complaints about unruly animals and, where applicable, breaches of its one pet policy are dealt with thoroughly.
“Perhaps it is Haringey Council that need the wake up call. It’s not time for them to be cocky and ignore what could be a disturbing problem for some.”

When I first moved in to my home that backed onto a little park, a cock crowed to welcome daylight annoyingly every day (during the day he crowed in misery if it rained) when he vanished (probably the council enforced the owners living behind us to remove him) I really really missed the country sound (far removed from police sirens all night long etc)
It is sad but I grew used to his crowing, he never woke me up with it in the early hours and he predicted rain during the daylight hours- poor long gone cock, I miss him now he is long gone. However, there are many night noises around me that I would not miss- shouting, drunks, broken glass – and police sirens that do wake me up and disturb me.
I can only repeat to the grumblers, that there are worse noises and you might find you miss him when he is gone.
