Greymouth neighbours are in court this week over loud music that one describes as screeching classical-type music and the other as soothing jazz or Dave Dobbyn. Edgar Rochwalski is appearing for a judge-alone trial to defend a charge of failing to comply with an excessive noise notice a year ago. Despite the fences, for the past three years she had still been blasted with excessively loud screeching classical-type music. The loud music came from the rear of the property and sometimes it felt as if the speakers were pointed directly at her house, Ms Stewart said. Cross-examined by Rochwalski, Ms Stewart said she did not know why the high fences had been erected.
