A Welsh live music venue has agreed to a number of conditions after it was found to be "excessively loud" in a review of the premises which took place following a series of noise complaints.
Environmental health officers from Neath Port Talbot Council carried out a noise monitoring programme at the Other Place bar in Pontardawe in 2022. While hundreds of people started a petition in defence of the bar, which has become known locally for its live music and events, a number of complaints from nearby residents about the level of noise sparked the review.
It was concluded by council officers, who carried out noise monitoring at the bar over the summer months last year, that the complaints made by residents were valid. You can read more of our stories from Neath Port Talbot here, or subscribe to our newsletter here.
