While at the May blog meet, John Tighe owner of the Spotted Dog pub in Digbeth, wanted to show us a short documentary on how nearby developers tried to put in place noise abatement orders against them for excessive noise pollution.
The Spotted Dog’s license is up for renewal soon. I urge anyone watching to write to Birmingham City Council in support of the pub.
If I reader could tell me who to contact, and the addresses I will post the details.

Music can be pollution if it spoils the life of people living nearby. In a mainly quiet residential area it is unfair if people move in and then play loud music. We experienced this many years ago when UB40 members and crew played such loud music in the houses opposite that the floor of our kitchen vibrated.
However in an area such as Digbeth which is mostly commercial / recreational one can expect more noise from a pub- people have to have somewhere to enjoy loud music.
