The Fleece Rock Venue Saved?
. The club has been running for 32 years, but when plans were submitted to turn an office block into 80 flats, it was feared complaints from tenants would lead to its closure. Current noise laws in England and Wales mean that just one submission from an unhappy resident can lead to a venue's license being revoked. Fleece owner Chris Sharp was unsatisfied with developer's report that said noise from his establishment wouldn't cause problems, and commissioned his own which suggested it would, unless more money was spent on soundproofing during the building conversion. The developers threatened to proceed without doing the additional work - but last night Bristol City Council branded their position as a "bullying" strategy and enforced a set of restrictions. They include permanently sealing windows that face The Fleece, and including mechanical ventilation instead. More on this story. TeamRock Radio is an official news provider for antiMusic.com.
