The owners of Beck Evans Farm seek a premises license for their upcoming 'Becksfest' festival, allowing late-night music and alcohol sales. However, this request has met fierce resistance from local residents in Water Lane. Residents have shared traumatic experiences from past events, including public urination, drug use, and noises disrupting peace. Local councillor Kurtis Christoforides expressed concerns over the farm's operations, emphasizing the strain it puts on council resources. The ongoing tensions highlight the clash between local community standards and the farm's business aspirations.
Kevin Courtney, a resident of Water Lane, expressed his distress over the last event, saying he had never seen such a display of mass anti-social behaviour.
Ruth Harding shared concerns from her elderly parents, noting that previous events at the farm exposed children to inappropriate behaviors including drug use and excessive alcohol.
Councillor Kurtis Christoforides criticized the farm's operators, labeling them as wholly untrustworthy and citing the location as a significant consumer of enforcement resources.
