Reading your article about noise from playground instruments at Manor Field Primary School, Burgess Hill, I understand the instruments would only be played at play times.

Play times last only 20/30 minutes. Children will only be on the instruments for a little time.

My friend works at a school in Brighton. They have musical instruments in their playground, which to my understanding the neighbours are fine about .

If you live next to a primary school you should expect noise as they are only children at the end of the day.

How could one neighbour complain, why live in a house next to a primary school? I don’'t understand this.
