More festival news, and Liverpool's annual musical shindig, the Matthew Street Festival, may still go ahead despite a ruling by local authorities that the usual site was not currently suitable, mainly because of construction work in the area. Since that conclusion was reached, Council leader Warren Bradley has said that a proposed alcohol ban at the event and the proposal to move the fairground to another site might be sufficient to get the event the go ahead. While adding that health and safety was still his main concern, Bradley said he believed that the public deserved for the Festival to go ahead in one form or another. Bradley's comments followed the launch of an online petition to reinstate the festival on Friday. Though whether that had any role in the council's change of heart I don't know, after all there's a petition for everything these days.
