Petition addressed to: Mayor of Denia Vicent Grimalt
For years, residents of Dénia have been forced to endure increasing levels of unnecessary and illegal noise caused by modified 50cc motorbikes with altered exhaust systems.
These bikes are frequently driven through residential streets creating excessive noise, often late at night and early in the morning. Many of these vehicles have clearly been modified to bypass legal sound limits. The result is constant disturbance for residents, families, and people who work from home.
This is not simply an inconvenience. It is a serious quality-of-life issue affecting thousands of residents.
Families with children, elderly residents, and workers are being subjected to daily noise pollution that could easily be prevented through proper enforcement of existing laws.
European and Spanish legislation already address this issue, including the Environmental Noise Directive 2002/49/EC and Ley 37/2003 del Ruido, which require authorities to monitor and control environmental noise.
However, enforcement in Dénia appears to be inconsistent or insufficient.
Residents are therefore asking the Ayuntamiento de Dénia and the Policía Local de Dénia to take immediate and visible action.
Reason
We call for the following measures:
- Active enforcement of noise limits on motorbikes and scooters in residential areas.
- Regular police checks targeting modified exhaust systems.
- Sound testing equipment to measure vehicles exceeding legal noise limits.
- Fines and confiscation of vehicles that repeatedly violate noise regulations.
- Increased patrols near schools, residential streets, and known problem areas.
Dénia is a beautiful city and a place where families should be able to live peacefully.
Residents deserve to sleep at night, work from home without constant disruption, and enjoy their neighbourhoods without aggressive and unnecessary noise.
We respectfully call on the authorities to enforce the existing laws and restore a reasonable level of peace and quiet in our community.
