Moves to cut noise at new nightclub

Measures to cut noise from a new nightclub in a North-east townhave impressed neighbours.

Residents living near the site, in Peterhead's Longate, turnedup at a public meeting after concerns about plans for the club.

Publican Ian Sangster and his son, Scott, reassured people whoattended a public meeting by outlining plans to reduce noise andcurb trouble.

The Sangsters explained that the 10,300ft building would becreated using double-layered walls and fitted with sound-proofinginsulation.

All equipment inside would be fitted with noise limiters whichrestrict levels to 80 decibels.

The Sangsters pledged that the club would generate less noisethan a passing car.

Anti-social behaviour could also be prevented by qualified doorstaff and fitting steel gates at nearby lanes to prevent access.

Revised plans have moved the entrance from Longate - aresidential area - around the corner to Ellis Street.

The application for planning permission will be decided laterthis year.
