Well there are many ways of looking at this issue.

I am simply pointing out that due to the Act and the LAs lack of influence in it - this is the only way that Weymouth is going to be able to have its Punch and Judy show or travelling circuses etc.

This seems to matter enough to some of the councillors for them to try to take steps to enable it and where there is a will there is usually a way. But this concil feels it has to continue to prevent and obstruct local sessions, even after the last 5 years have been spent pointing out that there is no legal reason that forces this council to hold this position.

I am just pointing out some of the implications of what is planned to get around the less positive aspects of this Act. I am sure that others can point out more. But perhaps rather than concentrate all their efforts on getting around just some of the Act's requirements and be happy to inflict others and try to blame the Government - it may be better for LAs through their association to lobby the Government to change the entertainment aspects of the Act that are causing problems?

I am sure that I may come over to you as being a little hard but perhaps if you had received just some of the treatment that this council has dished out - you may think that I am being remarkably generous?
