Concert venues and local residents that have not always seen eye to eye

Step forward “Disneyland in the Cotswolds”, a live music venue in Oddington, Gloucestershire.

The local authority there was forced to block plans by promoters, Berrybank Park Events Limited, to convert agricultural land into an entertainment centre.

The plan was to create a sunken amphitheatre, a marquee pavilion and outdoor lighting.

However, residents objected saying the “loud and uncontrolled events” made their lives a misery.

Glastonbury, the world’s largest music festival, has also not been immune to the odd complaint.

In 2016 the Environment Agency fined the promoters £31,000 after four kilometres of the nearby Whitelake River was polluted with untreated sewage.

In the US a row erupted when Twitter put a massive flashing X sight on its San Francisco headquarters to mark the company’s rebranding.

The city issued a “notice of violation” because the sign was erected without permission.

Back in the US, residents in Portland, Maine complained about the noise coming from Maine Savings Pavilion at Rock Row which hosted rock stars Alice Cooper and John Fogerty.

Complaints were reduced after the venue put in noise mitigation measures.

And in Franklin, Wisconsin, residents have been complaining about the noise from the Rock Sports Complex for a decade.

The local authority spent $200,000 (£165,000) on an investigation into noise levels. However, the study was described as inadequate by people living nearby.

In Texas, a new concert venue, which hosted such stars as Snoop Dog, also had locals up in arms over the noise at a newly opened arena in Round Rock.

The promoters, Round Rock Amp said it was looking for ways to mitigate the nuisance and described the concerts which disrupted the neighbourhoods as outliers.

And back in the UK, people living on the River Thames, have been infuriated by the noise coming from party boats which residents have said can keep them awake until the early hours.
