[Cliff Edge]

sounds like a plan.

Too late for many gigs.

ABOUT BLOODY TIME. But yes, too late for many fine venues. RIP The Point, Cardiff.

There are only a few lower forms of life than someone who moves in near an established music venue, knowing full well that it's there, and then complains about it to the extent that it is forced to close. Scumbags. I hope their houses get infestations of mountain-beaver fleas.

Noise pollution is a common cause of stress, so keeping it down, or keeping it in, will reduce ill health and the resultant load on the NHS.

 

I have no problem with people who want it loud, but I think it is wrong to expect the rest of the neighbourhood to pay for soundproofing. The polluter should pay for the reduction/treatment of their pollution.

 

If that results in most pubs being quiet, and purpose built venues for loud music, with prices to suit, that seems fair to me.

It's a case of who was there first. If you build a dwelling next to a noisy venue then that should be your responibility. If a bar/cub opene up next to you then it's their responsibility.

 

It's the "Agent of Change " princible.

This is the stupidest law project ever.

 

Noise is a health problem, period.

 

So noise makers must contain it within their properties and limits, so they are the ones to build the soundproof barrier, not the neighbourhood.

 

It's also based on respecting the others.

 

If you understand this, you'll live in total harmony with everyone.

 

The freedom of one ends where that of another begins.

I thought the English loved noise? **
