Mayor Martin Brett had raised the topic, calling for byelaws to be introduced to govern such nuisances.
However, the executive pointed out that when it comes to venues, it’s an issue for the planning or environmental departments and not the elected representatives.
Mayor Brett says toning things down makes good business sense, as planning laws could eventually come into the system and they would find themselves in hot water then.
