Life’s a beach

More than 100 residents have signed a petition calling for Scotland's first school-based beach volleyball court to be relocated so they no longer have to put up with the noise.

The people are not complaining about general school noise. They are complaining about a full weekend with international volleyball. They did not buy a house beside a volleyball court and were not consulted when it was erected. They have every right to complain.

Lynda Horton Constant noise they say? 24/7 beach volleyball is quite impressive.

Keir Liddle Probably the complainers are the same people who would be complaining if young people were hanging about with nothing to do.

I love the comment they make of “move it next to the cemetery” – just what you want to hear when you’re burying your loved ones, folk shouting and cheering.

Sandra Miller Will they be petitioning the council to stop the kids going out for break time due to the level of noise?

Brian J Smith I know people who live there and the complaint stems from an international volleyball tournament held there a couple of weeks back. A lot more than some kids; many teams and lots of screaming and shouting from 8 am until 8pm. The residents weren't consulted or even warned in advance, which is pretty poor.

Regardless of what the complaint is about, kids or a tournament, it's still ridiculous. Between the hours of 8am and 8pm? Well sorry, but that's just petty. Do they stand and complain if the buses are too loud?

If it’s a sports field you would expect sports to be played on it. There’s a large sports field near me with loads of noise but I don’t complain.
