“There are big financial difficulties facing the council and people mostly would rather we address them than pay out for another party.”

Welcome to our world chicken legs... (Mr. Letford)

A spokeswoman for Travel Dundee said, “We have done something like this in the past but it has not really paid off with the amount of money we had to pay for drivers to work those hours and then with the problems of people drinking and the clean-up it’s not worth it.”


??????? See above !!!!!

Nothing suprises me about Dundee city council they are a shower of shxtes.

Taxi drivers in Dundee are treated like scum

Feck the council you don't need permission to have a new years party.
Get a band charge the punters a pound each that will pay for the band and have fun

That would require a license and a risk assesment and policing, etc, etc, etc.

Grandad,

Only if it's official, if ppl get together on the net to plan a party all that goes away as the council can't be held for independant actions.

Personally, welcome the world that's now in existance, can't fart without a license, all you need to do in a real world is section off where it's happening and anyone entering signs a disclaimer, everyone wins that way, nobody to sue the council and everyone focused on what it is, a party.

If it's in a public place then the council insists on stewards and insurance. If a street has to closed notice has to be given and Police have a duty to comment and again will involve stewards, notices on lamposts and so on. It's all about heath and safety now and is not like the good ald days.
