John Tighe of The Spotted Dog forwarded me this email asking to ‘please circulate widely’. Alrighty:
RAINBOW IS MEETING COUNCIL HEADS (CLIVE DUTTON, JAQUIE KENNEDY, MARTIN MULLANEY, ERNIE HENDRICKS) FRIDAY 4.45PM – WE WILL REPORT ON THIS AT OUR OFFICIAL RESPONSE TO THE ABATEMENT ORDER (SEE BELOW).
THE SWORD HAS FALLEN – EPU ISSUES RAINBOW WITH A NOISE ABATEMENT ORDER. – RAINBOW RESPONDS
The sword of Damocles hanging over the head of the Rainbow has finally fallen. This latest decapitation is further evidence of the City Council’s EPU department zealously applying it’s subjective and tenuous rules regarding ‘noise nuisance’ – for the benefit of one resident and to the detriment of the vast majority. This is despite a commitment to sound insulate the roof from which the sound of music emanates – as quick as the planning department can allow it.
We will issue our response this Friday at 6.30 – 7.00pm at The Rainbow. If you can make it we would appreciate your attendance and moral support. Please spread the word. Cheap drinks will be served.
Rainbow Team.
