Last week, he made an application to the council's licensing sub-committte to allow live acoustic music at the premises.

But several residents objected to the bid, saying they had endured problems with noise from the pub, illegal parking and even unruly customers urinating in their gardens.

John King comments:The Police Reform Act starts to bite: DJs are allowed, but amplification is banned for live music. And things will get worse - if DCMS reforms go ahead, the pub can no longer use a TEN to put on live music (because live music is no longer licensable!)...... Do you see what they did there?
