Music on the Urb
The first thing about this theme is that it is very complicated. We have spoken with the Policia Local and they inform me that, normally if the sound does not exceed 90 decibels outside, there is no problem about having live music. However,
If a resident complains and refuses to back down when presented with the fact that the sound does not exceed the 90 db limit, the police are obliged to ask the bars to turn the music down or off.
It is an offence to place speakers outside the premises if the noise level is excessive. Therefore a possible solution would be for the bars to monitor the sound levels themselves. Ensure that the doors are kept closed. Use sound deadening insulation on the sides of their premises that are closest to dwellings. And when asked by the Policia Local to turn the music down, to do so and not to pump it back up as soon as they leave the area.
On a brighter note, bars and pubs can apply in writing to the council to be allowed to open until 0230 am between the dates of June 17th and September 30th. Without the application, all bars must close by 0130am. There is no Charge for this. Please make sure you nominate the nights that you wish to remain open for the extra hour. We have asked that the Police try to accomodate the bars and restaurants, throughout the Summer Season

Ref your statement above- this is very contradicting. If the Law is that music can be played at 90 db, then nobody should have the right to make the Venue put the volume down any more or even tell the owners to close. That does not make sense at all. We would be governed by a very small minority and the odd trouble maker and it will drive people away from here. This must NOT happen !!
Thanks Ian for saving me time,and saying exactly what I would of written.It is obvious,both bar owners an customers want the doors open in hot weather for comfort and convenience of all..As for sound insulation being put on or in walls,most of these bars are rented,so the renters cannot afford the cost and the owners of the property couldnt reallly care.As for the ludicrous idea of bars being allowed to open until 2.30 am,what bar is going to stay open when the last customer will be going home by 11pm

House Insurance
Yesterday I had a quotation from The Leader newspaper for house insurance. I am definatly going to change to them when my insurance is up for renewal at beginning of July. 56 euros saved is better in my pocket than my present insurer.
schools
Hi, could anyone tell me if my 13 year old would get on the same school bus as my 5 year old???? I am so worried about my 5 year old getting on a bus on her own......if they are different buses would I be able to travel on the bus with my little one to start with?
Karen
Not sure which schools they will go to but I know that in Rojales the institute (senior school) start at 8am so my 14 year old goes on the bus at 7.30am. My younger daughter who is still at the junior school does not start school until 9am so the bus picks her up at 8.30am, The buses do have a monitor as well as the driver who looks after the children and makes sure they get on the bus at the end of school. When mine were younger she wouldnt let them get off unless she knew I was waiting for them. Dont know if this helps at all?
Well done all of you. It's nice to read comments that have not been edited and on many topics. Keep going. xx

Hi Jeff
Thank you for all the effort you are putting in to this subject, but as you are finding out it is obviously a minefield. We are trying to read in to what you have said. By what you are saying it is practically illegal to have music outside. For artists to appear they need loud speakers and microphones. So does this mean that artists have to be closed in a room while they perform ?
We do not expect artists to perfom until 2.30 am. 12.30 is quite acceptable.
