Belfast Council and Féile an Phobail festival organisers have made moves to “limit destruction on the local community” in the Falls later this summer.
Those running the West Belfast festival, together with the council, have agreed to limit the number of events and place strict conditions on those nights where entertainment runs after 11pm, following a series of complaints from locals after last year’s festival.
However, a council report states that one of its own departments have commented: “For this year’s festival, in addition to the diversionary event, there are three consecutive nights of music proposed to run to 1.00am, the cumulative impact of which may result in community annoyance.”
