Coast Rider
Ive thought long and hard about making this comment but feel I must. There was in the last week some unfounded irresponsible reporting about the noise from some bars in the Consum area. The first fact they got wrong is there are two bars with 4am licences in the area (one of them has been closed and empty for months). The other is rarely open till 4am. The fact one person they wrote has to " sleep in the car in their underbuild to avoid the noise and their floor vibrates. What a ridiculous statement to make, we have a bar directly above the one open with a late licence and our floor doesn't vibrate and we cant hear the noise. Have the coast rider taken sound readings at 4am in the morning? I think not. The consum area provides entertainment and valued social life to many local people and visitors, Most bar owners cant sit back and rely on incomes from elsewhere, nor can the mostly (not in my case) Young hard working people who earn their living there, do lots for local charity etc. So before Coast rider prints stupid damaging reports I suggest you sleep on it and get your facts straight. As for the people who come out with ridiculous accusations and statements. PLEASE MOVE. (Rant over)
