Closing at 03.00? Absolutely not. La Llonja is a mixed use area. Homes, offices, restaurants and bars. All must cooperate and be considerate to one another. Noise nuisance in the early hours is extremely anti-social and disturbing for those living in the area. Residents will be severely affected and the authorities should be more protective of their right to the peaceful enjoyment of their homes. Let just one Council member stay in an apartment in close proximity to a late opening bar on a Saturday night/Sunday morning and they will quickly appreciate the suffering it causes. Bars wanting to stay open until 03.00 need to be re-located to an area away from residences where their customers can make as much noise as they like. Other major cities in Europe have done this and it works well. The bars are happy and the residents can sleep undisturbed. The perfect solution.
Well done Palma Council. Residents first is the priority.........as it should be.
