This MEQ is in response to residents concerns for the increasing noise disturbance around the Hart Lounge in Southgate. I am pleased and satisfied with the Officers response, I think the council have done a good job here.
Response to Enquiry
Dear Cllr Stephanos Ioannou,
Thank you for forwarding the concerns raise by your constituent.
I had a meeting with the management team at the Hart yesterday, to discuss the issues regarding loud music.
They have agreed in principle to install a noise limiting device, which once in place and calibrated correctly, will hopefully negate any further nuisance.
In the interim, they have provided a telephone number for the premises manager, which can be used by your constituent and others in their position, to call the venue and advise that the level of music is too loud. They will be expecting calls from withheld numbers to ensure the anonymity of the individuals.
I am in the process of drafting proposed additional conditions to be added to the licence, with the support and consent of the Premises Licence holder.
They are now fully aware of the gravity of the situation and want to avoid any potential review, which would come about as a result of a statutory nuisance being witnessed.
I will keep your constituent updated with the progress and provide them with the contact number for the manager at the premises.
I hope this helps
Kind regards
