Couple's Demands Threaten Historic Legion Club
25 Nov
Summary
- Couple demands reduced hours, door staff, and banning orders for club patrons.
- Club claims restrictions would force it out of business after 100 years.
- Couple allegedly retaliated with their own loud music and 'marching' protests.
A legal dispute has erupted between a couple and the Royal British Legion club in Corfe Mullen, Dorset, concerning noise complaints. The couple, who moved in next to the 100-year-old social club in 2020, have issued a seven-point demand list. These demands include reduced operating hours, the hiring of door staff, and the installation of a sound limiter.
The club, with an average membership age of 64 and many military veterans, insists these demands are unreasonable and would financially devastate the organization. They contend that closing for three months, as the couple suggested, would be ruinous. The club also highlights a substantial financial loss incurred in defending itself against these claims.
Escalating tensions have reportedly involved the couple playing their own loud music in retaliation and Mr. Cordner alleging a physical altercation with club security. The club maintains it has made several adjustments to appease the neighbors, such as changing delivery times and removing front seating, but these efforts have been insufficient.
