Jail threat to Jade Jagger

Jade Jagger's wild parties have generated so much noise that the eldest daughter of Rolling Stone Mick has now been warned to turn down the volume - or face a hefty fine or even jail.

Council officers were forced to serve her with a nuisance abatement order after being called for the third time to her north London home to stop an all-night party.

As the waves of noise reverberated, residents made so many calls to Brent council's nuisance hotline throughout Saturday night and Sunday morning that the call centre's computer jammed for the first time. Neighbours said environmental services officers arrived at 3am at the £1million warehouse-style apartment in Kensal Rise and demanded that the party should stop.

Jewellery designer Ms Jagger, 31, was told that because this was the third time they had been called to ask her to stop a party at her home over the last two years, she would have to be served with an order. She was also warned that she faces prosecution, a hefty fine and even jail is she breaks the order.

Ms Jagger, who lives half the year in Ibiza with her children, Assisi, 10, and Amba, eight, and her partner, Londonborn musician Dan Williams, - threw a Christmas party on the same weekend last year and in 2000. Each time, council noise officers were called to test noise levels and shut down the celebrations.

A source at Brent council said: "The computer in the Milton Keynes calls centre jammed with all the calls. It's the first time that has ever happened in the several years I have worked here."

An official spokesman for Brent added: "We have been called out to the property three times. First on about 14 December 2000, then on roughly the same day a year later in 2001 and then the third time was in the hours of Saturday night through to Sunday morning. Because this was the third occasion at that property, we will now issue a nuisance abatement notice to the householder. It will now be a criminal offence to be in breach of that notice - and that's serious."

Under the Environmental Protection Act of 1990, noise offenders can face fines of up to £20,000 or a prison sentence if the breach is substantial.

A neighbour - who did not wish to be named - added: "It's not parties every night - but when she throws them, she's the neighbour from hell. We're fed up with the all-night parties and the sleepless nights. We're concerned that this continuing problem has not been addressed. Now, with an order served, we hope that's the end of it."

Bond Street jewellers Garrard pay Ms Jagger a reported £500,000 a year as their creative director. Last month, her new advertising campaign with Garrard was scrapped after advertisements, launched in a blaze of publicity, showed actor Rupert Everett, rap artist Missy Elliott and model Liberty Ross with their own "royal" coats of arms and the words "by special appointment to..."

The Royal Warrant Holders Association warned that only the royal family was allowed to grant the style "by appointment", and prompted Garrard to change the campaign. The launch of her new Garrard range at a party at the Tower of London attracted the hippest crowd in London in September.

A spokesman for Jade Jagger was not available to comment last night.
