Leigh Cricket Club granted licence for summer festival deemed 'a step too far' by neighbours

Despite complaints from concerned residents in Leigh over numerous issues with excessive noise, the licence for a summer festival at the cricket club in Pennington has been approved. The event would see live music being played as well as a fairground and children’s entertainment for what is billed as a family event.

One resident said that he and his family had been so disturbed by the annual firework event they had to have a weekend away at that time every year. All three objectors were concerned by the potential noise they would face coming from just over their back fence.

They believe that this is “a step too far” from the cricket club.
