SCORES of revellers held an illegal rave on heathland at Brancaster Staithe at the weekend, disturbing villagers and visitors for more than 12 hours.

Around 100 party-goers arrived at the village common some time before midnight on Saturday to enjoy loud music in the open-air surroundings.

But it has been claimed that despite calls to West Norfolk Police from disgruntled locals, the party went on until past midday.

Police were first called around 11.50pm but a spokesman said they did not shut down the rave as they did not have enough manpower and instead kept an eye on proceedings throughout the night.

She said: “Due to operational demands elsewhere and to the relatively small number in attendance the matter was dealt with by way of monitoring and intelligence gathering.”
The site is a regular meeting point for small groups of youths but one homeowner said this weekend’s activities were “on another level entirely”.

The local – who asked not to be identified – added: “It is a shame really. It is quite a beauty spot.

“The parish council has worked really hard to cut away the overgrown gorse over the last couple of years and restore the full network of footpaths.

“This is how they are rewarded, with an invasion of wasters apparently convinced that everyone within a five-mile radius wants to listen to their mindless repetitive thump?”

The last person left the common at 12.22pm on Sunday afternoon.

* Young people have got to go somewhere to have their fun, haven’t they? But what if it impinges on the peace and quiet that locals have a right to expect?

TBH it was a bit of a cheeky location and near houses but AFAIK there is no pied piper which abducts random youths and dumps them on common land miles away from where they live so those “wasters” are probably the local communities own children who have nowhere else to do this stuff legally…

The idealist in me thinks there should be designated areas for low-cost events/gatherings but I think crews need to self-regulate themselves a bit better before this can happen….

Streotypical prick! They dont like us fair enough but they dont have to class us as a bunch of “wasters”!

Why not have designated rave areas so people can shut their moaning up and we can have a good time without havin to spend our tax on shutting somthing down that we spend money on to organise!

In EDP24 there was an article about how all these barns are falling apart in Norfolk area because they are too remote for agriculture/livestock, not suitable for residential conversion due to planning laws, but too knackered to be useable to industrial conversion.

Clearly this implies they are too far away from anything else … any “unwanted” barns round here usually get used for something (even storing random tat) if they are near enough…

so why can’t some people come to arrangements to make use of these places? If they were hired out for the same rates as village halls the crews could still afford it and it would put any noise out of the way of most people….

stopping these raves doesn’t stop the desire to make noise or take drugs; since the clampdown I’ve noticed a lot of youths (and not so young people) getting into worse drugs or turning back to binge drinking and the streets are in fact worse..

to be fair it was a little close perhaps but the coppers that did come down said that it was well out off the way as the lie of the land meant the stack was in a dip facing out to see. the crew even asked if they wanted it turned down and the OB said thats ok, have fun and left.

TBH reading between the lines a bit the nimby who complains also seems to have a hidden agenda of being opposed to the clearing of the commons for greater access? I wonder if they are from a local landowning family there?

at least they were being sensible but you have to be careful as often they have brought a CCTV car and are filming everything; they then get numberplates of crew vans.

A lack of enforcement isn’t the same as tolerance and acceptance, although it may look like it…

Still think that at least one or more of those knackered old barns should be (legitimately) converted for gatherings like this.. anyway they used to do parties in them in the old days so why not now?

i supose its because they are un liscenced/ regulated and if any body was to injure themselves the anti rave crew would go crazy. its a shame really cos it would give the farmer a bit of extra cash , give us a place to worship and keep the nimbys quiet.

could get them on TENS licenses… really is it any more risky than anything else that goes on on a farm?

the main risks are overcrowding and fire but these can be dealt with by being sensible (most rave crowds are less than 500 people anyway)

By the farmer providing a legitimate electricity supply, all entry/exit points being known and basic precautions being taken all these risks can be reduced.

the anti-rave crew don’t care about ravers getting injured anyway, they only care about things being quiet – all they have done has not actually made anyone safer, people go to town centre clubs/tidy weekender, still get into problems with drug use or they drive hundreds of miles to get to events – often when either not sober or tired….

yeah its a shame but TBH previous generations (including mine :cry:) fucked it up over the years by not regulating themselves properly, and not respecting the environment or even themselves/each other (bingeing on drugs/drink, fighting etc)

it was only recently that people started properly clearing up after parties and theres stuff like mindless damage and trespass (like the farmers signs and carrot field being trashed at another party in East Anglia)

even then people have been getting away with this sort of mischief for over 16 years so its unsurprising things have got a bit harsher…

Criticism of police handling of raves
SIX weeks ago Dersingham village hall was trashed by an illegal rave.

We later read that Brancaster has suffered the ensuing noise from another illegal rave.
Again, our wonderful police force (who we all pay for) were clearly totally ineffective, trotting out the same old lame excuses.
Just how many policemen does it take to disconnect and confiscate a record player?
Why is it that we are always being asked to help fight crime, but when it comes to pulling out a plug and arresting the DJ our police cannot cope?
Pathetic is the word which immediately comes to mind.

I wonder whether people are taking advantage of the police resources diverted to the ipswich area?
