i spose this will be another law that will be put infront of the organisers surely, or will it be alright cos its actually outside, rather than a small place, what about tents tho

Ah but they’re not a place of work so the legislation is fuck all to do with the free party scene really.

Could turn more people towards illegals though, be that good or bad (I’m unsure on that one tbh), as smokers get fucked off going to clubs and not being able to smoke!!!

Had the smoking ban for over a year up here already – not heard of anyone attempting to enforce it at free parties.

Does mean a lot of random ****wits lurking around on the streets outside pubs and the like though….:hiding:

Can be a bit of a bugger at the weekends in the city.

Mostly the fuzz don’t enquire too deeply at free parties, as long as it isn’t too stressful for them to have to attend… Considering the norm, I think them grumbling about people smoking tobacco in a tent is way down the list of worries anyway…:weee:

not sure how it’ll work, how will ppl be stopped smoking if there caught smoking in a pub? think it’ll mean more ppl will stay at home or go to house/outdoor parties

The local CPSO’s round here reckon they are trying to extend it to smoking in the street!

I think they can already do you for litter anyway if you throw cig ends in the street!

they’ve also got litter wardens and street rangers round here and they all have airwave radios too which is a direct link to the Police.

Sometimes Suffolk comes across as its trying to be “Britain’s answer to Singapore”, its a beautiful area but has a very heavy nanny state presence…

Diss is a bit of a nightmare at times, I’ve been involved in local youth innitiatives and certain members of the council seem to think that banging them up until 25 is the best bet 😉

yeah, and they then wonder why there are serious social problems caused by a generation gap in this area.

I’m glad TBH I only came here when I was in my 30s and didn’t grow up here, as other than the free parties there seems to be absolutely fuck all constructive for youths to do round here..

Very true, they are trying to set up a boxing club and yoof cafe in Diss but I don’t know how far it will get. They seem to have been pretty liberal with slapping ABC’s on a lot of kids too. Glad I’m back out in the sticks, at least I don’t have to put up with the little oiks 😉

tell me about it… my mate got threatened with an ABC for loud music, and many people i know have had ’em given… i think they are like, half-ASBO’s? not sure though.

imo the “naming and shaming” idea of an ASBO (posters round with their face on, showing they are restricted from wherever etc.) is pretty harsh. it pretty much means they are hated by older generations who tend to be really judgemental. some of them who have ASBO’s deserve some punishment, but it aint really a workable solution.

as for constructive things for young people… we had some of them. youth club. radio station run by young people. dj workshops. then the council sold half the youth centre off as offices. nice one right there :hopeless: i miss havin my own show, was a top laugh, really did help some fucked up kids n all. helped me quite a bit 3 years ago, summat for us all to be proud of wannit.

that’s standard in Exeter…. £70 on the spot (cheaper than speeding in your car! :crazy: )

at least they have put in stub-plates on the bins though, so you don’t have to carry your butts home in your pocket

Up here in Scotland, it’s not just workplaces but any public enclosed space. Only found out myself that it’s actually illegal to smoke in a bus shelter now.
You can’t smoke in marquees either even with the sides up. I’m sure this’ll be the least of their concerns although it would be entertaining to see someone banned from the tent at a party for smoking:laugh_at:

the smoking ban shoulding really effect free parties as they are private parties not for public attendance

is this correct?
