Residents urge stricter enforcement of noise ordinance at Thomasville council meeting
Summary
Two residents, Terry Beard and Christina Blackman, urged the council for clearer enforcement of the city's noise ordinance, citing amplified music and live bands at large residential parties that they say can be heard inside homes.
During the public forum on May 19, two residents spoke to the council about ongoing noise issues in residential neighborhoods.
Terry Beard said large parties featuring amplified music or live bands in residential areas can be heard inside her home despite efforts to soundproof, and she asked the council for clarification of the noise ordinance and the rights of residents to peace on their property. Christina Blackman, Beard's sister, echoed those concerns and requested stricter enforcement to ensure respectful behavior by those hosting large events.
No formal council action was taken at the meeting on the noise ordinance; council members did not indicate a vote or direction at the time. The matter was raised during the public comment period and could be referred for follow-up or enforcement clarification by staff.
