WOMAD

• 

  As I said before, if the licence has been issued, there shouldn't be a problem.

  The police are challenging the licence and if they win their challenge then what next? Licence revoked I guess.

  Maybe English Heritage are to blame. When you go to Stonhenge solstice the place is overun with Police many times more than needed, but if EH pay this sets a precident in the minds of Wilts Police.
  Yes the Wiltshire force should be haunted by what happened back in 1985, I was close by that day; a black day for all sorts of reasons.

  WOMAD will go ahead.
  - The police want it to go ahead because they will get their fee
  - The Council want it to go ahead because the local area get the spill over revenue and presumably they get fees of some sort too
  - WOMAD want it to go ahead because ..... well of course!
  - There are no legitimate grounds for refusing a licence - there has never been any trouble at WOMAD CP
  This is simply about the Police & WOMAD nogotiating a fee.
  It would/should have remained a private matter (like all the other fee negotiations that happen as part of the run up to the event) but the Police thought they could put a bit of pressure on WOMAD by challenging the licence. When they review the licence, the Council may insist WOMAD use the police rather than a private security firm. If that happens WOMAD will have to pay what the police are demanding. But the two sides might reach a compromise sooner. Either way the only thing in doubt is how much WOMAD will eventually agree to pay. WOMAD will go ahead whatever the outcome.
