It is as daft as people moving close to an airport & then complaining about the noise.
Good points.

The owner of a lovely bungalow adjacent to a local, very large primary school tries to sell it durung the summer breaks but it never sells.

I wonder how those residents cope with outdoor PE lessons, after school footy, rugger, cricket and netball matches, sports day, and the annual fete

I'm surprised the local council didn't defend the noise (assuming it wasn't verbally offensive).
Break times are so important for social interaction, refreshment and exercise (and that's just the staff! ).
