Heritage Grannies Don't Like the Satanic Rocking And/Or Rolling

[Mars]

The Friends of the Halifax Commons, an offshoot of the Heritage Trust, (kind of like the Heritage Trust for the Commons) have got their knickers in a knot that this summer tens of thousands of young whippersnappers will flock to the Halifax Commons to drink beer, smoke the devil grass, trample the grass and get down with KISS and Paul McCartney. Rest assured they will be vociferously making their objections known to the City.

From the Friends of the Halifax Commons Website: "Things Aren’t Getting Any Better…..In 2007 HRM signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with concert promoters for two mega concerts/year on the North Common."

A picture of the offending superstructure (the stage and speaker towers from the other year's Stones concert) appears on the Friends of the Commons Website. The tower, which will be over one storey tall, is completely not keeping in style with Halifax's 18th century heritage, can be seen from Citadel Hill, and is within a mere two miles of St Paul's Church.
