A way around pub fun day ban
11:11am Tuesday 15th July 2008
I was extremely disappointed to see the headline Klljoys halt pub' fun days' (Echo, July 2).
As a DJ (and also a member of the Musicians' Union) I know only too well all the effort that goes in to planning such an event.
There is a way round this which can make such an event perfectly legal. That is to put in what's called a Temporary Event Notice (known as a TEN).
Any person can apply for one of these notices and they are relatively cheap (around £21) You can see the full details on http://www.opsi.gov.uk/si/si2005/20052918.htm.
A good thing about a TEN is that residents are not allowed to make objections. The only people that can object are the police and that is on criminal grounds only.
A TEN allows an event for upto 96 hours (four days continuous) and up to 499 people on the grounds. Summer's here, so lets ignore these killjoys and get these parties rolling Richard Talmage, Sydney Street, Weymouth.

Public Places) Regulations 2007.
(iii) a temporary event notice has been given so that the premises may be used for a
permitted temporary activity by virtue of Part 5 of the 2003 Act (permitted
temporary activities).
Publicity
5. Before making an order, a local authority shall cause to be published in a newspaper
circulating in its area a notice
(a) identifying specifically or by description the place proposed to be identified;....
(d) inviting representations as to whether or not an order should be made.
Perhaps this doesn't apply to the TEN notice that you are referring to but if it does then it seems to suggest that people should be invited to make their objections before an order is granted. So they can object but not once the order is given. Is that correct?
