CREAMFIELDS’ application for a permanent licence will be objected to by Warrington Borough Council.

Council officers say they feel it is not appropriate to grant the permit due to their experiences of the Daresbury estate based dance event from the previous three years.

A council spokesman said: “There have been many changes in the size and layout of the site and we feel that the granting of any licence for more than one year would limit the control regulatory authorities have over the operation of the event.

“In addition as the licence application does not state that it is for the August Bank Holiday weekend, there is potential for an unlimited number of events to be held over any weekend of the year in any of the fields on the application.”

The spokesman added that annual applications would ensure that the council and the organisers could work together and ensure the concerns of the residents and revellers are considered each year.

Halton Borough Council’s licensing committee will consider the objection at the hearing on June 8.
