London
(ANI):
Madonna
has
reportedly
been
cited
for
noise
pollution
by
authorities
in
London.
The
Queen
of
Pop
has
received
an
official
warning
from
council
officers
after
staff
at
her
London
home
upset
neighbours
by
staging
a
noisy
party.
Although
the
star
herself
was
out
of
the
country
at
the
time,
as
the
property's
listed
owner,
she
was
nonetheless
issued
with
a
noise
abatement
order.
The
51-year-old
singer
was
warned
that
any
further
offence
could
land
her
with
a
5,000
pounds
fine.
Westminster
City
Council
said
the
case
is
unlikely
to
go
to
court,
but
warned
that
any
further
offences
could
see
Madonna
summoned
to
appear
before
magistrates.
“We
take
the
issue
of
noise
pollution
very
seriously
and
treat
every
case
alike
and
fairly,
regardless
of
who
owns
the
property
concerned," the
Telegraph
quoted
Councillor
Ed
Argar,
cabinet
member
for
city
management,
as
saying.
“Although
we
live
in
a
busy
city,
we
all
have
the
right
to
live
in
a
degree
of
peace
in
our
homes
and
enjoy
our
precious
free
time.
If
people
want
to
hold
a
party,
regardless
of
the
time
of
day
or
night,
they
need
to
show
some
common
courtesy
to
their
neighbours,
who
should
not
have
to
pay
the
price
for
others'
selfish
behaviour," Argar
added.
