00:00Councillors have pulled the plug on a three-day dance and music festival on a farm near hundreds
00:08of homes following objections from the police and environmental health.
00:14South Gloucestershire Council Licensing Subcommittee refused the application for Go Cream Festival
00:21to go ahead on the edge of Thornbury after neighbours described it as an almost inhumane
00:27and a form of torture from relentless heavy base thudding through their homes and scaring
00:34the children. Organisers had hoped to hold the event for the third year running at Yewtree
00:40Farm in Old Gloucester Road from Friday to Sunday, September 12th to 14th. But councillors agreed
00:49with Avon and Somerset Police and the council's environmental health team that locals' lives
00:56would be made a misery and issued a counter-notice banning it from happening.
01:03Environmental Health Officer Florence Fisher told the hearing that last year's festival
01:08sparked 11 complaints from locals, with one person saying it gave them a headache all weekend
01:16and others stating that the music made their houses and windows shake.
01:23Police Licensing Officer Wes Hussey read out a complaint from a neighbour to the force after
01:28last year which said that the extremely loud noise had had a profound effect on him and his
01:34family.
01:36Officer Hussey said it was unfair and unreasonable for residents to have to endure so much disruption
01:42for the whole weekend.
