Stray, we always got one on a Sunday at 3pm, which was great. A nice treat for the kids.

By law, ice cream vans are banned from playing their tunes before 12 noon and after 7pm.

Outside these hours, ice-cream sellers can only use a hand bell to let people know they are in the neighbourhood.

Otherwise they could be taken to court and fined for noise pollution

Just wanted to pick some brains,. We've had an ice cream van coming around every night this week around this time (8pm). playing music. We generally just get one on a weekend afternoon. Obviously there's no way my 2 younger children are going to get an ice cream at 8pm, but of course they hear the music and want one.
Does anyone know if there's any bylaws or similar that he's breaking? We don't think it's on. Any views?
