FESTIVALS ON PRIVATE LAND

Early day motion 186, tabled 26 June 2014 by David Morris (Conservative). Signed by 7 members.

That this House notes that a festival which has a stage, plays music or serves alcohol requires a licence from the local council; further notes that a festival on private land without a stage or similar does not need any formal permission and can go ahead regardless of the number of people attending the event; and urges the Government to reconsider the legislation in this area and enable councils to consult with local communities before any events are allowed to take place, especially in small villages where the number of people attending the event exceeds the local population.

Signatures by party: Conservative 3, Liberal Democrat 3, Independent 1.
