The infamous Holmfield Hum - a noise which has plagued some residents of Halifax for some years - remains a mystery and may have more than one source.

Coun Jenny Lynn, cabinet member for public services and communities, summarised the latest situation answering a question posed by Nikki Kelly in the public question time section of a meeting of the full Calderdale Council.

“The situation has been ongoing for an extensive period and has severely affected the mental health of residents. Coun Lynn said there is also the added layer of complexity due to the topography and make-up of the locality, which is a mix of of residential, commercial and urban environment. But, she said: “At this time council officers have no evidence of a statutory noise nuisance - be we do recognise that the noise being heard by some residents is impacting on the well-being of those individuals.However, given the clear impact on some residents, officers wanted to be reassured their conclusions were robust and based on best evidence and that these should be tested by an independent noise consultant, whose report had been sent to the council on July 8.
