A hotline for anyone suffering noise nuisance during next week's Homelands dance music festival has been set up by Winchester City Council health chiefs.
The festival, at Cheesefoot Head, starts at noon on Saturday, May 24th, and finishes at 7am the next day.
Council officers say they will be there to check site facilities, including the water supply, sanitary accommodation, health and safety, catering, and clearance of litter, both during and after the event, for a temporary population equivalent in size to a small town.
In considering the application for the event, the city council paid particular attention to the potential for nuisance to nearby householders from a variety of sources.
As a result, conditions have been included in the licence to minimise the impact of the event and the city council says it is committed to ensuring they are complied with.
The following helpline numbers are available: before the event - for noise nuisance issues, ring 01962-840222 ext 2488; for all other issues, ring 01962-840222 ext 2188; during the event - for noise nuisance issues, ring 01962-863493.For police matters, ring 0845-0454545 or dial 999 in an emergency. For all other issues, ring 01962-865407.
