I live in El Tosalet. We are trying to encourage all our neighbours gardeners to come on the same day and reduce the use of using those very annoying leaf blowers. My gardener is banned from using his for more than 2 minutes. Does anyone else have similar thoughts??
Best wishes to all who are reading this.

Difficult one really as there are obviously hours when noise is permitted but if you can manage to get them all to come on the same day, then this may help. Good luck with the initiative though.
