I’M ALL for pubs and live music but not at the expense of people’s peace and quiet.

How would you like people shouting, loud music, big boomy DJs and constant noise right on your doorstep? Answer is you wouldn’t.

Every pub has a duty to make sure that what they do doesn’t upset the people living nearby.

I think The Garage bar got off quite lightly as they could have had the licence refused altogether.

Would you have the same thoughts if a noisy neighbour moved in next door to you and had loud parties all the time with people in the garden? I doubt it. You’d soon be on to the council.
