The Chariman opend the meeting to the floor.
(a) MADRA
Mr Tom Lambert asked the Parish Council if it was right to subject
elderly villagers to the sort of musical noise that emanated from the
recent Motorcycle Weekend at MADRA. After discussion and investigation it
appears that the Police were called by a member of the public, but no
action was taken due to the fact everything was in accordance with the
license that had been granted.
The Parish Council will take this matter up with MADRA shortly, and try
to prevent this happening in the future. It is understood that this
event has taken place before, though not in Knapton last year, and is in
aid of the Air Ambulance.
