Subject: ANOTHER POSSIBLE NAIL IN THE COFFIN OF LIVE MUSIC - Signing up to ask the Prime Minister to NOT introduce sound control devices as a legal requirement in entertainmment venues!

This has just been sent to me I despair have these people got nothing better to do – does anyone know anything about this and who is the instigator

 

http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/NoNoiseControl/

 

More details from petition creator

It has been brought to attention that the government wish to consider it a legal requirement in the new tax year to introduce laws insisting anyone applying or re-applying for an entertainment license must have a noise control device fitted to the venue. This will be the final NAIL for ALL entertainment in the UK as the level at which these devices CUT you off is dreadfully low and damaging.

PLEASE DO NOT INTRODUCE THIS LAW, WE LOVE LIVE MUSIC!
