understand that Malvern Environmental Health had allowed the Morgan public house in Clarence Road an out-of-hours music licence to operation until 1am.

The Morgan, which occupies a very small space within this closely built-up area within Great Malvern, lacks the outdoor space to operate an outdoor event which entails excessive loud noise, as was experienced at this private event on Saturday.

The loud speakers which were excessively loud started at lunch time and carried on until 11.45pm.

It beggars belief which bright spark at Malvern Council is responsible for this disturbance to the peace and total disregard showed to the local residents and the community, who although the event was supposedly a private one, had no choice because they were made unwilling participates.

Surely that this was a private event, then that is what it should remain, private.
