Campaign to protect live music venues

Campaign to protect live music venues

Live music venues including pubs, theatres, music and concert halls under threat from outdated noise restrictions could be protected under a proposed law change, which has the backing of councils. As it stands, the law states that somebody can move next door to a live music venue and ask for it to be quieter or restricted, regardless of how long it has existed or if there is any previous history of the same noise being a nuisance. The costs then have to be borne by the venue. Under the proposed change, anybody who chooses to move next door to a music venue would be assessed as having made that decision understanding there is going to be some music noise.
