A PEMBROKESHIRE woman has been ordered to pay almost £5,000 for repeatedly playing loud music.

Melanie Conroy, of Picton Road in Hakin, was issued with an abatement notice by Pembrokeshire County Council on January 21, 2020.

However, Haverfordwest Magistrates’ Court heard that Conroy ignored the notice – issued under the Environmental Protection Act of 1990.

There continued to be “amplified music playing at an excessive volume at the premises” on at least four occasions, the court heard.

Conroy was accused of failing to comply with the abatement notice on October 13 and 14, January 9 and February 9.
