'The Department for Culture, Media and Sport can see no reason why venues should require a separate permission to simply allow customers to sing or dance as they celebrate the Royal Wedding. I am sure that, in interpreting and enforcing licensing laws, local authorities will agree with the Prime Minister that unnecessary regulation should not get in the way of the celebrations.

The following celebrations are not a Royal Wedding - so it is OK for regulation enforced by local authorities to get in the way!!!

A CONTROVERSIAL May Day celebration event planned to be staged in Inkberrow will not now go ahead after councillors moved to block the plans.

As reported in the Standard last week, the Horsedrawn Camp had submitted a temporary event notice which would have allowed them to have up to 499 people at Lower Farm from today to Monday (April 29 to May 2), as well as live music and entertainment.

But following an objection from West Mercia Police, Wychavon District Councillors decided to put a stop to the event at a licensing sub-committee meeting last Thursday (April 21) on the grounds it could have caused crime and disorder. The proposal had caused uproar in the village with more than 100 residents believed to have contacted police to express their concerns.
