SO the music festival in Sherdley Park was a success. Wrong! From a residents' view it was a total disaster. Thumping loud music from noon until well after 9pm, the litter has to be seen to be believed (still not collected a week later) and vodka bottles and beer bottles, a lot of them broken.

If I made such noise I would be prosecuted but as usual by St Helens Council, it is glossed over.
