The How The Light Gets In festival this year will be taking place from the 22nd to the 25th May within Cusop Parish, on the land behind the Co-Op.
The Festival organisers have issued the following statement:
We will be operating within the conditions of the premises licence granted by Herefordshire Licensing Committee and which remains in place for 5 years. The details of the licence are set out below.
During the course of the event, HTLGI will be maintaining a Noise Complaints Hotline.
The number of the hotline is 07455371167 and the Hotline will be manned throughout the duration of the event by a member of festival staff.
Staff manning the Hotline will receive a training briefing with the Festival Noise Consultant on what data to record, how to use the complaints form and what action to take when a complaint is received.
As soon as the call is finished, the onsite Festival Noise Consultant will be contacted by the site office and given details of the complaint. The Festival Noise Consultant will then investigate the complaint and take whatever remedial action is required. A record of any remedial action taken will be made.
