Following an investigation carried out by Southampton City Council’s environmental health team, The Dolphin pub in Portswood has been successfully prosecuted for noise offences. The case returned to the Magistrates’ Court on November 7 for sentencing, where The Dolphin was fined a total of £5,280.
The prosecution came after the council’s environmental health service received complaints about live performances on a stage in the garden of The Dolphin from June 2018.
Cllr Jacqui Rayment, cabinet member for place and transport and deputy leader of Southampton City Council said:
“The successful prosecution against The Dolphin pub demonstrates our commitment to ensuring our licensed premises do not cause unreasonable disturbances to neighbouring residents. We will continue to do all we can to protect residents from noise nuisances.”
