Licence to run shindigs in country park upheld despite complaints
A STOCKPORT farm which holds music festivals has won a licence challenge despite claims of 'drug taking' and 'public urination' from attendees.
Whitebottom Farm, in Compstall, saw off an application to review its premises licence over public safety and public nuisance grounds, after former Stockport councillor Becky Senior said local residents had experienced antisocial behaviour from festival-goers.
Ms Senior, who used to represent the Marple North ward, told the licensing sub-committee on May 15 that she regularly heard complaints from neighbours relating to people attending events at the farm while she was an elected councillor, although she was unable to give an exact number of her casework.
