HUNDREDS of complaints have been made against a music venue in Glasgow due to 'excessive noise levels'.
Glasgow City Council said it had received a total of 215 noise complaints over the past two weekends from residents living near the Junction 1 venue.
Junction 1, located in the Morris Park Complex, in Oatlands, is a purpose-built outdoor music and arts venue.
Over the summer, it has been hosting gigs and DJ sets, including a three-day festival that ran between July 29 and 31.
Of the 215 complaints, 95 were received during the festival, but the council's Environmental Health officials found the venue had not breached its licence condition.
However, organisers were asked to turn down the bass levels as environmental factors meant the sound was still excessively loud for residents in the surrounding area.

The council then received a further 120 complaints between Friday and Saturday at the weekend.
This time, the venue was found to be in breach of the maximum decibel limit.
A Glasgow City Council spokesperson said: “We received 120 complaints about noise from Junction 1 over Friday and Saturday last weekend.
"Our Environmental Health team attended the site on both nights this weekend to monitor levels and I can confirm that the organisers did breach their licence conditions on Friday night.
"Our officers instructed them to reduce the sound levels and they did so.
“However, a report will be submitted to licensing in relation to this matter and Environmental Health will continue to engage with venue organisers and internal partners in relation to the situation.”
Junction 1 was contacted for comment.
