The Mayor’s Ambient Noise Strategy Mayor of London 13 Box 9: Annual Greater London Authority Surveys In an interview survey of a sample of residents across Greater London carried out in late 2003, people were asked ‘Thinking about the quality of the environment in London, how much of a problem, if at all, do you consider noise to be’ 46 per cent considered noise to be a problem (13 per cent major problem, 33 per cent lower level of problem). 24 per cent included noise in their two or three top priorities for improving the quality of the environment in London. In an earlier interview survey in 2001, those who said they were likely to move away from London in the next two years were asked why. In unprompted replies, 10 per cent cited noise, compared with 14 per cent crime, 13 per cent affordable home, and 11 per cent better area. ‘Annual London Survey 2003’ MORI for Greater London Authority, October-December 2003, published January 2004. ‘Annual London Survey 2001’ MORI for Greater London Authority, October-December 2001, published January 2002. http://www.london.gov.uk/mayor/annual_survey/index.jsp 2.15 In the 2002 GLA London Household Survey, over 8,000 London householders were questioned on a range of issues. Respondents were asked how they would rate various types of noise where they lived, in terms of ‘serious problem’, ‘problem but not serious’ or ‘not a problem.’ The survey indicated that 13 per cent rated noise from road traffic where they lived a ‘serious problem’, compared with aircraft 6 per cent, roadworks/construction/demolition 4 per cent, noisy neighbours 4 per cent, trains/tubes 2 per cent, industrial/commercial premises 2 per cent, and pubs/clubs/entertainment 2 per cent. These percentages may seem low, but translate to large numbers of Londoners. Larger percentages said noise was a ‘problem but not serious’ (see Figure 1). 20 Figure 2 shows differences between boroughs in the proportions of respondents considering aircraft noise to be a serious problem where they lived.
