A boisterous boozer has been ordered to install double glazing windows to cut down on noise pollution caused by its music events, it has been reported.

The Bull Inn, in Shrewsbury, has had a string of new conditions attached to its licence after complaints from nearby businesses, according to the Shropshire Star.

At a hearing on Thursday, Shrewsbury and Atcham borough council's licensing sub-committee imposed a bar on live music and karaoke after 11pm during the week and 2am on Fridays and Saturdays.

Elizabeth Saxton, who runs a nearby self-catering holiday home, and Mike Matthews, owner of the Prince Rupert Hotel, called for a review of the public house's licence claiming the noise pollution caused by the venue's music was "excessive".

Mrs Saxton claimed that she had been receiving complaints from her customers during the course of the last year.

"It's extremely loud and unacceptable," she added.

The pub's landlord Mark Glenister said: "I can understand that last year was a very disturbing time and it looks like in a couple of other instances it has been too loud. I'm not here to be a problem. I do want to get it sorted."

Meanwhile, the BBC's celebrity gardener Charlie Dimmock visited York last week to clean up The Jubilee public house as part of a campaign to save the nation's pubs through improving beer gardens following a post-smoking-ban slump in sales.
