Secondly, the response on the increase in the size of the festival is a clear vindication for the position adopted by the Parish Council in opposing the last license application and speaking publicly against the increase that is continuing to cause considerable concern locally. Having been to the festival myself a few times I think raising the volume of people would take away the charm of the event,its always been a little, 14 years | 36,000+ articles | 170,000+ comments, First Bob Seely Deep Fake video surfaces – as Captain Jack Sparrow from Pirates of the Caribbean (Updated), Find out more about courses and opportunities at the Isle of Wight College Virtual Open Day, Latest number of positive Isle of Wight Coronavirus tests, Man admits serious child sex offence in three-year-old rape case, Crowdfunder for Ryde Saints Football Club: Don’t miss the deadline, New Yarmouth School – in Freshwater – goes before Isle of Wight council planning committee, Isle of Wight council finally unveil their response to supporting children on free school meals during half term, Positive plans for much-loved but unused Ryde building, Police update on seven arrested stowaways from the Nave Andromeda, Dedicated young triathletes put hours of training into practice in Isle of Wight Triathlon Club Duathlon. Ed The Planning & Licensing Committee of Newport Parish Council have announced their initial findings after an extensive survey of residents in the vicinity of the festival site at Seaclose Park and declared it to have been a thoroughly worthwhile … Coronavirus and culture – a list of major cancellations. The appraisal of the remainder of the returned questionnaires will, in due course, put more ‘flesh on the bones’ in terms of the overall response.

I have no objections to a 90.000 capacity festival, although Seaclose Park is not the appropriate place for such a large number of people. Made me smile when some wrote saying the infrastructure on the Island could not cope (4 Days) how is it going to cope with all the new estates being built here and more people coming here to live. Hmm, looks like my crystal ball was spot on! surely that is exactly what they do in Disneyland…move over 100,000 visitors every day from bus to bus to light train system. The three-day event was licensed for 70,000 however last night Isle of Wight Councillors agreed that can be increased to 90,000. Also, I doubt if they are all carrying camping equipment, crates of beer and other bulky items. That’s about 32% which means that over two thirds of residents don’t care enough to register an objection. The Isle of Wight festival organisers said it was “unavoidable given the current status” of the outbreak, while Download offered “heartfelt apologies”. Another looming event, All Points East festival – taking place over numerous dates from 22 to 31 May in London’s Victoria Park – has not yet been cancelled, but is expected to be, as is the three-city Dot to Dot festival from 22-24 May. To increase the numbers is absolutely diabolical,and is nothing but a money maker for the organisers and some inconsiderate, greedy residents. It was the first festival since 2003 with no official sponsor.

The Parish Council delivered questionnaires to 1102 households and had more than 570 returns; a very healthy response of just short of 52%. No houses there, so nobody will complain, eh?
