Subject: RE: Falmouth Shanty fest UK licensing probs
So I wouldn't be surprised at all if the Cornwall Council's hands were tied on this matter.
There is no need for assumptions.
Those of us who have experience of the way this works here in England and wales KNOW for rock-bottom certain that if the Local Council's in question want events to proceed, they will find a way to enable them and also KNOW for rock-bottom certain that the opposite is also the case. There are many examples of this......
The local interpretation and enforcement of Entertainment Licensing does not in fact have any of the certainty that you assume is the case. It is obvious that the whole point of devolving it to the local level assumes a great deal of local flexibilty - if none were available, what would be the point of this?
