You would have thought the organisers would have been doing all their could in the media if it was a simply the councill being heavy handed.

actually no, i have heard that the organizer of this even ran off with the money, the council didn't have much choice but to cancel last minute, they had no funds for the police and park attendants. the council simply wanted the money to pay for essentials for the event such as security and cleaners i guess. i am not saying that all of this was done tastefully but from what i've heard the council really didn't have a choice.
