Residents may have seen the licence application for the annual event at the racecourse this August.

The Parish Council is aware of residents' concerns and notes that the event is proposed to become an annual occasion. The Council is concerned about the level of noise and disruption this could cause for nearby residents, particularly over a three-day period, and considers the proposed 1am finish time unreasonable.

Residents are welcome to share their views by emailing [email protected] before midnight next Tuesday 17th February.
