I am sorry to see any event cancelled because of licensing laws.

Following, in our view, over zealous application of powers embodied in the new licencing act, we have been forced to cancel Miskin at Easter for this year.

I am sure everyone will respect your wishes regarding the local authority, but if any local authority are applying the law in an overzealous way then the only way that this can be stopped is by pointing the stupidity to a wider audience in particular members of Parliament.

A number of people are in frequent correspondence with their local MP about the absurdities of this act (including me) and we are constantly asked for examples.

Is is possible to tell us the details of what the actual problem is? Or even what sort of licence you applied for?

I understand any reluctance to do so.
