Guiseley AFC get permission to host annual music festival

A football club is set to host an annual music festival after a licence was granted by the council.
Guiseley AFC applied to launch the new event and put on live music on match days to help raise cash for the club.
Leeds City Council said 13 objections were raised by people living nearby over noise and a lack of parking near the Otley Road ground.
But councillors granted a new premises licence allowing live music performances at Nethermoor Park.
The club said it would allow for a limited number of community events in between football seasons.
Premises supervisor Zoe Dickinson said any extra profit would be re-invested into the club.
She told a licensing sub-committee hearing: “All of that money goes back into the club to improve facilities.”
None of the objectors were present at the hearing at Leeds Civic Hall.
The licence will allow Guiseley AFC to serve alcohol and play music until 10pm, but councillors were told there would be no music after 8pm on match days.
A licensing report said: “The use of the premises and the pitch during April, May, June and July for live music and the sale of alcohol by retail will allow the premises to be used for other community-led events.”
