Wirral Council has changed how often a clocktower rings due to a noise complaint.
A council has decided to break with a 137-year tradition and limit the chimes of a town's clocktower to once an hour after a noise complaint from a nearby resident.
In a statement Wirral Council said the times were changed after its own environmental health officer found the sounds were a "statutory noise nuisance". A resident who lived nearby complained about the volume and frequency of the quarter-hourly tolling of the bells, prompting a council investigation.
