Thread Name: Licensing consultation announced!
Subject: RE: Licensing consultation announced!
This appears to relate to the playing of electrically amplified music. So why is it of relevance here, a folk forum?

Moreover, it appears to relate to the use of statutory powers to abate nuisance - precisely reflecting the argument of many opponents of the Licensing Acts that other powers render the use of Licensing Act powers unnecessary.

Neighbours of pubs do not necessarily want to have the pub's noise imposed on them. What is so hard to grasp about that? A nuisance is a nuisance whether or not those inconvenienced came to it.
