Isnt that what fundraising, grants etc are all about? How much extra money does opening the park to 10,000+ people bring in, rather than a licence for just under 10,000 people? What sort of events are they planning? Do we need to create a 'PottersVille' in order to maintain a park and museum of local and historical interest? They have just spent a small fortune on building an educational centre and other improvements in the park. Nice to have but not really 'essential' in times of austerity. I'm all for maintenence, painting and repair, don't get me wrong, but grand designs need funding. Should this be paid for by all night parties? Local people have a right to be concerned and question how much more the licence extension is likely to bring in and how?
