Festival boss forced to monitor sound levels A festival boss is being forced to monitor sound levels at the house of the only person ever to complain about noise from his carnival - even though the homeowner is on holiday.
The festival, which was attended by 30,000 people last year and is now in its 20th year, is a celebration of brewing heritage and combines 'music, traditional dance, crafts and food and drink'
The cultural enjoyment of 30,000 over a weekend -v- one complainent: The answer is here. It must be cheaper for the council to pay for the complainent's holiday than the cost they incur in weekend wages for the council employees attendence. There is a harmful lack of balance here, against the pleasures of the many, toward over-regulation in favour of a few. The claim that this complaint involves has any additional and real public safety concerns is bogus and is is a common theme being shown eleswhere.
