The Night Time Industries Association (NTIA) warned of severe repercussions if a series of music festivals at Brockwell Park, London, are canceled following a High Court ruling that deemed the Lambeth Council's planning permission invalid. The NTIA emphasized that thousands rely on these events for their livelihoods, with significant losses expected across the supply chain and local economy, affecting vendors, shops, and hospitality. Resident Rebekah Shaman argued that the council's actions contravened planning laws regarding park usage, leading to the judicial rebuke that could leave festival-goers in uncertainty.
"Cancelling the series of festivals would directly impact thousands of people... many of whom rely on the summer season to sustain their livelihoods."
"The local economy - including independent shops, pubs, restaurants, and hotels - which sees a surge in business during these festivals, would be hit hard."
