Summer Masked Ball Gets Cancelled
Event organisers have withdrawn their application after they faced objections from neighbours.
The organisers of the Masked Ball had been eagerly scouting for an ideal location near Truro to host the upcoming summer edition of their highly anticipated events. Unfortunately, their initial choice of a site in Playing Place, on the outskirts of Truro in Cornwall, has been met with numerous objections at event licensing meetings, leading to the decision to no longer consider it. With time ticking away, the team behind the Masked Ball has expressed that there is insufficient time to explore alternative venues for this year's Summer Masked Ball. It is important to note, however, that this change of plans has no impact on the beloved Halloween Masked Ball, traditionally held at Flambards theme park in Helston every October.
An event organiser is reported to have said: ""We are withdrawing from this application in light of the many objections from residents on the estate. We feel that whilst we have attempted to reach an agreement with the residents to mitigate their concerns with reasonable conditions, we have been unable to reach a resolution that would allow this type of event to deliver to the expectations of the attendees. In light of this we wish to withdraw the application and we will look forward to working with the estate owners and residents to find a suitable time and type of event that will operate successfully at the venue in the future."
In a detailed letter addressed to the council's licensing department, several concerned residents who are members of the local community group expressed their growing apprehensions regarding the potential issue of ball-goers being near their properties, highlighting the urgent need for effective measures to address this problem.
