While many were enjoying the extended bank holiday celebrations for the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee, residents of Broughton were struggling with the familiar disturbance of a nearby school. The neighbours of Kerem Shloime Primary School For Boys in Salford have been battling to cope with what they call non-stop noise from constant playtimes.
This was no different on the most recent bank holiday when the school remained open, which they are allowed to do unlike most state-run institutions- something the neighbours do not agree with. The Jewish private school, which has the most noise complaints in Salford, is also allowed to be open over the weekend.
“You are just not able to get away from it in your own home,” resident Karen Corbett said.

“I spoke to the school and asked why they were open when it was quite a significant bank holiday but I didn’t get a proper response. It was just like any other day.
“There were cars there at around 4:45pm for pick up. The only way to get away from this is to not be home.”
Ms Corbett explained that people in the area want to relax at the weekend in their gardens, but says this is impossible with the constant noise coming from the school.
The Orthodox school's playground, a former car park, borders the back gardens of neighbouring houses with nothing but a narrow street separating them. Salford City Council, which offered mediation to the neighbouring residents and the school - which they say the latter chose not to engage with - says it is satisfied 'there is no statutory nuisance from either noise or light pollution and therefore no legal action we can take' to appease residents' woes.
