John King comments:
More NIMBY moaning about a live music licence application.

Perhaps if it is sensible to expect NIMBY based objections from vocal locals - it is NOT sensible to have a system which seems to be designed to encourage only - the few to be able to deny the undoubted benefits of live music to the many?

Would be too difficult to have legislation where live music was first encouraged and which only dealt with any issues which may prove to be associated with it as a second matter?

Additional entertainment licensing starts from the 'loony' idea that places which have already be made safe for the public will automatically become unsafe should any form of live music take place.
