PLANS for a New Year’s Eve rave in Colne have been refused after strong objections by Lancashire Police.
Promoters Small Trees wanted to stage the event at an industrial unit off Burnley Road, Primet Bridge but PC Mark Driver, Pennine policing division licensing officer, raised concerns on how an expected crowd of up to 500 could be managed.
Further worries centred on internet promotional promises of £2 drinks for everything except spirits.
The borough’s licensing committee issued a counter-notice against the event.

Well done the killjoys, and Mark Driver, judging from the recent riots, the security for Small Trees would probably make a better job of managing the crowd than the police ever could.

Good, common sense finally prevails. These people will have to find somewhere else to have their ecstasy fuelled antisocial behaviour fest.
......Well done PC Driver

If all those fests were ecstasy fuelled instead, you'd see a fraction of the trouble you actually do from our current nights on the town. In fact they'd be no trouble.
Ironically one of the reasons this got banned was because of the cheap drinks they were planning, which they presumed would therefore cause more trouble.
You don't get trouble with ecstasy. It remarkably has completely the opposite effect. It's what made the original parties so amazing. Proper thugs, tops off, hugging instead of battling.
Hard to believe now, but Blackburn was completely at the epi-centre of the acid house revolution in late 89 / early 90. No-one came close to doing what the boys from Blackburn were doing then. No-one. Not any other town or city in the country.
They make films and write books about it now.

Well I must extend my belated congratulations to the wanna be "city" of Blackburn for being the Epi centre of ecstasy for the late 80's / early 90's. What an outstanding accolade for the gown , one that every resident should be proud of. In fact the drug scene would appear to be going through a revival in "Hacienda-burn" in that Steve Kean thinks he's gonna have a job this time next week!

I was involved in the 90's club scene and previous to that involved in bands as a manager and musician. I have to say the early 90's was a far better scene than that of drink. I am however surprised that ecstacy is still being used because in 1997 ecstacy was demolished in order they could force cocaine. Ecstacy has not been ecstacy since 97, so i know not what people are taking today believing it to be ecstacy.
it was all about the musical journey which died in 97 as music became course in order they could shift into the gangaster garbage and the high speed high pitched vocal garb.
what we need is a shift back to music that meant something which comes from real writers not X factor talant singing some major labels idea of what we want.
the public want what the public get, it has always been so. the public need to take back music and to hell with the corporate police having any say.
licences need to be scrapped so we can entertain as we like, and as for alchohol, until the flouride is removed you are not actually getting drunk, you are comfy on the flouride depressant.
the police are clearly moving way outside their mandate, they do this because you allow it, until you realise the corporate empire dictates to the police in order they can destroy the nation and implement full blown fascist communism, ergo, no fun, no music, and absolutely no arts of any worth, things will not change.
who are this country? is it a bunch of psyachotic elites, or is it we the population?
we outnumber them so whay are we divided?

I as always speak to those who know, clearly you do not.
when i was in the mystery school the one thing the elites kept on telling me was waste no time with the profane, they cannot understand big concepts, of course i was not going with that, but lately I am coming to understand their wisdom
