Still need to talk to police and assure them that she will abide by all regulations however a public house is a public house and if licensed for music a reasonable level of noise is what is only to be expected particulary Folk week and NOT amplified at all

Give and take is expected from both sides, many of the tourists are there mainly for Folk week anyway and all should benefit

Many years shops and pubs change owners due to non viablility
Whitby in the Winter has a very high unemployment level and summer is the only time when the pubs and shops take enough to see them thro the winter

Shops shouldnt throw the baby out with the bath water
