Name: Chrissie Hines on Jul 24, 2007Comments: Don't build new apartments in areas which have been known for having social outlets without proper sound proofing or letting the residents know. Bham is over run with new builds and soon it will be just nothing but flats if people complaining about noise living in the bloody city centre have their way. If you want peace and quiet go and live in the bloody suburbs. The exact same has happened near The Arcadian which is just ridiculousFlag

Name: Anonymous on Jul 24, 2007Comments: I'm fed up of residential development in the city centre... which is usually followed by getting areas re-classified and then the council serving them with licence limitations!! Look at Hurst Street!!Flag

Name: Shad Everett on Jul 24, 2007Comments: This is crazy, surely the problem lies with the in-efficient design by Abacus who should have insured that this appt block would compliment its buzzing surroundings Birmingham City Council have got this very wrong as they did with the Fiddle and Bone. This would never happen in Central London or New York for that matter! Move to Hazely Knob if you want peace and quiet not DigbethFlag

Name: Sylv Miller on Jul 24, 2007Comments: As a resident of Birmingham I believe that one of the attractions of Digbeth is meeting like minded individuals who appreciate the smaller back street public houses that offer a warm frindly environment with a community spirit. I would think it would be a great loss if this small community based pub was to close down as it offers such a lot of functions to a lot of people.Flag

Name: Tony Beirne on Jul 24, 2007Comments: Digbeth is a City Centre attraction - Living in a city centre has advantages and disadvantages. Noise is one of the potential disadvantages. It is wrong to discriminate against long established city centre attractions because developers and the City Council did not have the foresight to protect the cultural heritage of the City. This is the thin end of the wedge - What next - The Irish Centre all the other pubs in the area. This is wrong. Protect the Irish cultural heritage of the CityFlag

Name: Mr Francois BIGNON on Jul 24, 2007Comments: As a monthly regular customer of "The Spotted Dog" public house I am shocked to hear that newly arrived "city residents" complain about the city's established traditional music culture. If the argument is about Irish culture V new residents I support the culture. What happens if you transform a vibrant a city and take away its night life It becomes a dormitory where the young as well as the old loose out valuable entertainment, social connections, etc..Flag

Name: Barry Bling on Jul 24, 2007Comments: I have lived in Digbeth for over 4 years and attended many events at the Spotted Dog and had many a good night in the garden. I am appalled it has come to this, its an obvious sign to me that the developers have no regard for any business in the area or there tenants. I am sure they would know beforehand that building wanky apartments in the oppossite street to a pub is going to cause conflict with tenants and give an unfair advantage to the pub that was there years before them. This is what happened to the Jazz bar in Brum in the got shut down by the posh apartments oppossite the canal. Its an outrage, lets fight against it and higlight the greed of developers in Brum who ownly care about money and building endless overpriced apartments that attract boring middleclass yuppies, who's only purpose is to moan about shit to make there spoiled pathetic lives have some purpose. My final thought is to maybe invite the one's who are whinging to attend a party in the garden, get them hammered and laid and bet they wont want it closed down then!

Name: James Ventham on Jul 24, 2007Comments: To whom it may concern, I think you'll find we've had a history in Birmingham of great live music, and fantastic pubs, long before we had bloody expensive flats. I would very much encourage developers to be more reponsible when building apartments, and also encourage people buying the aprtments to embrace pubs like The Spotted dog, rather than whinge about them, YOU LIVE IN A CITY CENTRE, NOT THE COUNTRY, there is going to be some noise, and I'd rather hear people having a good time to good music, than sirens, and buses! all the best for the Spotted Dog, James VenthamFlag

Name: Jo Millburn on Jul 24, 2007Comments: The spotted dog has been the scene of many a good nioght, The residents at the newly built flats are fully aware that there are a variety of late night venues in the digbeth area including, The Medicine Bar, The Kitchen, The Rainbow, Rooty Frooty, Air, and the spotted Dog People should do a lot more research before moving into an area like this.Its totally unfair to expect businesses to operate differently to how they have for years.Flag

Name: Laurence Hunt on Jul 24, 2007Comments: Anybody who moves in next to a pub and expects it to be quiet at night is foolish. Occupants of new building developments in such areas should be more respectful of the pub, it has been there alot longer than them and that must count for something. This is the fault of the developer not the landlord.Flag

Name: Dave Stamp on Jul 24, 2007Comments: The Spotted Dog is a fantastic little pub, very well managed and with a warm, friendly atmosphere. It would be a tragic loss for Birmingham if it the place was to be forced out of business. It is utterly mystifying to me that individuals who have chosen to move into a city centre location next to a pub which has been known as a live music venue for decades are now complaining about noise!Flag

Name: Sheldon Bayley on Jul 24, 2007Comments: This kind of thing has to stop. People must realise what kind of area they are moving into before they buy their apartments. After the tragedy of the closure of 'The Fiddle And Bone', we must make a stand for areas like Digbeth as it is one of the few left in Birmingham city centre with any kind of traditional grain and character. If venues like The Spotted Dog become 'neutered', it will be the beginning of the end for Digbeth as we know it. This district has been virtually kept going by the landlords of these fine traditional pubs and although I don't live in the area, I work here and am considering buying an aprtment in the area. Two more thoughts: Digbeth isn't just an area for the residents who live here. Would this kind of thing happen in 'mature' cities like Paris, London and New York - I don't think so. If Birmingham really harbours ambitions to be seen as 'world class', this pervasive NIMBY attitude must be curtailed now. If you want complete peace and quiet, why would anyone in their right mind move to the city centreFlag

Name: Kate Chew on Jul 24, 2007Comments: The pub has been there far longer than the flats, as have many other entertainment venues in that area. It is unfair to complain about noise, thus risking losing a venue. They are just trying to turn this area into another corporate part of the city centre. Digbeth is one of the last remaining areas for alternative, cheap entertainment and should be actively encouraged. Why would someone buy a flat in that area if it was not for this reason The occupants should have thought about the surrounding venues before choosing this area to buy property in!!!Flag

Name: Belinda Hutchings on Jul 24, 2007Comments: This is not the first time that new residents in apartments newly built in the environs of an established music pub have complained, and had a casting vote on the continuation of the venue (viz Fiddle & Bone in sheepcote street). 1. when planning new apartments, account should be taken of local entertainment venues 2. people buying the apartments do so in full cognisance of the proximity of the pub 3. If the pub complies with various rules such as any loud music stopping at a predetermined time (eg 11pm) there is no excuse for compaint. Live music is the heart of a community and should be encouraged.Flag

I would strongly suggest those deciding to move into the area do some ground work to establish the surrounding environment, if not up to thier requirements then look elsewhere.Flag
