The rear of my home overlooks the building, and I knew that events took place when I moved here.

There have also been occasions when the noise has gone on after 11pm, but I was convinced that users of the premises had abused the booking agreement that insists on functions ending by that time.

Just recently there have been no problems and I am sure that now that the church authorities have been made aware of the complaint by my neighbour, they will ensure that lettings are correctly policed. It would be a shame to curtail the activities at this very useful community facility for the sake of anti-social actions by a few users of the facility.
