Dear Theresa Dodd

I have asked for a freedom of information request for the data within my emails, I do think there is more dates
the Enfield Council are aware of with regards to not just the premises that has been listed below within wards
boundaries for Enfield Council.

I therefore am asking for an internal review requests.

Regards

Lorraine Cordell

Dear Ms. Cordell,

th
In terms of the number of events there was one further rave that took place on 25 March 2013 at Progress
Way, other than this occurrence I have provided you with the dates and locations of all the illegal
raves/parties that are recorded on our database as well as all other data we hold that you requested. The rave
th
on March 25 2013 was attended by the Out of Hours Noise Team, assistance was requested from the police
but they were unable to help on that occasion.

The events at Crown Road were over a period of several weeks not months, during which time we were in
regular contact with the new site owners who worked to get the site secured and the power turned off. The
st
Out of Hours Noise Team undertook observations of the noise during the event on May 31 /June 1st but did
not visit the party as the team decided that it was unsafe to do so due to the nature and location of the event
and provided information to the daytime officer who ensured the owners undertook the necessary works.

th
The complaints received on Sunday June 8 were all received after the council’s Out of Hours Service had
finished at 03:00 and therefore no response was possible.

The Out of Hours Team respond to all complaints received but will only visit a premises where it is safe for
them to do so and in the case of illegal raves/parties quite often there are officer safety issues which prevent
visits at night time during the event, unless police support can be gained. Following illegal raves/parties we do
make every effort to get a building secured as soon as possible to prevent the same thing happening again.

Yours sincerely
