In my experience, the customers have always been well behaved and the event has been hugely enjoyable.

I sympathise with anyone who is inconvenienced by the event but it is only an occasional function and, as such, I think it should be tolerated.

It's not like it's a hotbed of crime and disturbance when it happens, it's always done in the right spirit and is a great community event. I simply can't believe that closing this down is being given serious consideration!

The noise pollution is only for a few hours.
The noise pollution for the A12 road is 24/7 and way more invasive - but who is doing anything about that?
How can one person stop some thing enjoyed by so many?
This is not democratic - Brentwood Council need some direction and help understanding majority needs.

We need to be supporting local businesses, not making it impossible for them to survive!

If the noise of the music is really that distressing for the complainant then a maximum volume level should be set rather than simply shutting the whole festival down and denying the pub the custom and income small business in this country so desperately need!

You do not need to close the festival down to resolve this complaint. PLEASE take sensible action and do not deny this GREAT BRITISH ESTABLISHMENT the livelihood it needs to continue operating! Plus it is an AWESOME pub that we all love to go to!

However, the vocal minority all too often exert influence that is disproportionate to their number and ruin the pleasure of the silent majority. The local council are duty bound not to adversely affect the enjoyment of the local and other people who benefit socially and economically from this event. They must take full account of their wishes also.

The Viper is an important part of Britain's heritage and is quite rightly on CAMRA's National and Regional Inventories of Historic Pub Interiors. I quote from Hilaire Belloc, "change your hearts or you will lose your inns and you will deserve to have lost them. But when you have lost your inns drown your empty selves for you will have lost the last of England."
