A recently approved noise by-law in Bridgewater remains a hot topic. Council voted 4-3 in favour of the document, which means the town will invest in equipment to measure noise levels. There would be maximum decibel limits at certain times of the day, depending on the time. Deputy Mayor Bill McInnis voted in favour and says it should keep noise levels to a minimum.Meanwhile, councillor Jennifer McDonald is against it. She says there isn't a demand for the by-law.
There are under 100 noise complaints a year in Bridgewater. The by-law is expected to be in place by the spring.
