Questions remain over whether a festival will go ahead after safety and security fears were raised by councillors and police.

Jaly Group UK Ltd has submitted a licensing application to run its Save the Rave and Look-a-Like events at Royal Victoria Country Park in Netley Abbey.

The events were initially planned for August 11 but have since been moved to September 28 and 29.

However a decision is still yet to be made as to whether they will go ahead after objections by Hampshire Constabulary and the Southampton and Eastleigh Licensing Partnership.

At a licensing panel meeting on September 19, one police officer, PC Brian Swallow said he doesn't believe the organisers can safely run the event in good time this year.

The licensing application submitted to Eastleigh Borough Council is for two amendments to the licence granted on June 13 for the tribute festivals.

The application asks for permission to run the event in September, having previously received permission covering July and August, along with plans for a change of layout for the event.

Organisers have also applied for under 18s to attend the Look-A-Like's family-billed festival on the Sunday - something that is not allowed at the Saver the Rave 90's music event.

But PC Swallow added: "The two-day event has not changed. The organisers unwittingly agreed to no under 18s permitted at this event.”

He said it has only just come to light during this process as Sunday is a family event – and that landowners Hampshire County Council had withdrawn permission for the country park to be used as a venue.

Phil Bates, licensing officer added that he has "genuine concerns" over the organiser's ability to run an event of this size.

“The management of events is a set of complex disciplines and services.

"Would I be happy with someone I care about to attend this event? I probably wouldn’t be?”

Committee chair Councillor Janice Asman said: “Overall it’s the general tardiness of the company and not having an eye for detail."

The organisers were not present to answer questions at the meeting.

Gareth Howlett of A&H Security attended to answer questions about security and said despite their being no plans for CCTV, security would wear body cameras.

He said drug amnesty bins could be provided, but police criticised the organisers for not putting in details of how they would manage the bins, who would hand over any drugs that might be in the bins and how bin contents would be disposed of.

The current licence allows the organisers to serve alcohol, food, play live and recorded music, dance and music performances and show films on Saturday and Sunday from 11am to 10.30pm.

A decision may take up to five days.

Tickets have been sold through Skiddle.
