Hightown's All Night "Raves": We Say NO!

Councillor John Gibson (pictured on right, with local residents) is leading the fight along with Hightown and other residents to stop the "Raves" application.

 

Councillor Gibson said:

 

"We object to licensing application M/018304 which is for a Sefton Council licence to hold a series of festivals on land within the perimeter of Moss Lane, Orrell Hill Lane, Scaffold Lane and North End Lane near Ince Blundell, Formby and Hightown. We understand that the application is for up to 15 festivals which may include live and recorded music, plays, dance and so forth. The site application states that up to 5000 people could be using the site from 9am until 3AM the following day.

 

We object because of the noise that will be caused to people living in the area (noise carries particularly well at night), the huge impact on traffic (North End Lane has seen some serious accidents and is presently the subject of a Technical Services plan to reduce accidents) and the general nuisance that this application, if granted, would cause to the many people of Hightown, Formby and Ince Blundell who use the narrow lanes adjacent to the land. We are concerned about the additional traffic that 5000 peoples’ cars will cause to the Formby by-pass too and the general loss of amenity that such festivals will cause."

 

Your MANOR FOCUS Team are working alongside ALL the PARISH COUNCILS in the area to stop this happening. To join the campaign please contact Cllr. Gibson directly on the details on the right of this page.
