Talking on the positive!! Brian and I DID have a wonderful weekend and there is much to celebrate and to be proud about in our local festival. No Worries may have ended up in the smoking marquee of the Enigma Bar but we had power supply, nice seating( very welcome to weary visitors) shelter and a car park to rear for unloading PA. Could have been perfect without the disco. We were also well supported and the GI was an absolute gem as always.
The police respond to incidents and complaints but although we were shocked and disgusted by what we witnessed on Sun. night in the High Street we did not complain to the them. How can you ask for dozens of drunks and foul mouths to be removed?
Difficult to see solutions to such an enormous public order problem which extends well beyond our lovely festival. Good luck Doug and friends in finding solutions and thanks for asking for our opinions.
PS
Park and Ride is currently not available into Rochester for Festival events. A strange decision?
