If I am successful in the arguments I have presented to my local licensing authority - to enable participatory activities without them being considered as Regulated Entertainment - I am sure that others with similar problems would be very unhappy if I were to insist that this be kept quiet and these measures only applied locally.

You are trying to set a precedent. Here people want to the carols to continue. Selfish maybe.....but the event goes ahead.
