Councillor Grew and Guest left the meeting at 8.15pm

103. WORKING WITH YOUNG PEOPLE

Members considered the previously circulated recommendations of the Policy &Audit Committee to improve the policy for involving young people in Council.

The Policy & Audit Committee have recommended broadening the age spectrum and inviting young people from Mold age 11-25 years to join the Youth Council and that the elected Chair and Vice Chair of the Youth Council are invited to act as representatives at the meetings of full Council.

Councillor Bithell raised concern that the new age spectrum would eliminate the primary school children. Councillor Taylor said the Policy & Audit Committee wanted to take the focus away from schools as school pupils where not necessarily residents of Mold, they wanted to encourage other youth groups in the town to put forward members and increasing the age to 25 years would give those interested in standing for Council in the future an understanding of what is involved, without having to commit to becoming a Councillor.

Councillor Lloyd suggested to include the primary school children and to give them an understanding of Council business, they should be invited to attend the Council Chamber to meet with the Mayor on regular basis throughout the Mayoral year.

Councillor Mearns proposed the recommendations of the Policy & Audit Committee be accepted for a trial period, after which members couldre-evaluate. The proposal was moved.

The Town Clerk confirmed she would put out an advert to all youth contacts, groups and schools and request nominations are put forward for an election style ballot in each ward to elect members of the Youth Council.

Resolved: It was resolved to approve the recommendations of the Policy & Audit Committee for a trial period, after which the policy would be re-evaluated.

104. NATIONAL ASSEMBLY FOR WALES CONSULTATION

The Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Bill - The Equality, Local Government and Communities Committee is undertaking an inquiry into the general principles of the Public Services Ombudsman (Wales) Bill. The Committee would like to invite members to submit written evidence to assist in its consideration of the Bill. Submissions should arrive Friday 1st December 2017.

Resolved: It was resolved that members note the information.

105. LOCAL GOVERNMENT DEMOCRACY AND BOUNDARY COMMISSION FOR WALES

The Local Democracy and Boundary Commission for Wales (the Commission) has been asked by the Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Local Government to provide updated guidance on the conduct of community reviews by principal councils to support greater consistency in the manner in which community reviews are conducted.

Before publishing the guidance in its final form the Commission is providing a draft of the document for consultation.

106. MATCH FUNDING CHILDREN'S PLAY AREAS 2017/18

Members considered the previously circulated correspondence from Aura Leisure & Libraries relating to a budget provision for the improvements to children's play areas for 2017/18. Town and Community Councils have been invited to nominate proposed play areas and agreed level of contributions to a maximum of £10,000. Members are advised to note that during budget setting in January 2017 there was no provision set aside for play area improvements.

Councillor Bithell informed members that it was unclear as to how long funding, for play areas, would be available from Flintshire County Council and therefore members should take the opportunity to match fund whilst funding was available. Councillor Bithell proposed match funding the Maes Y Dre play area which was the site indicated by Aura, most in need of improvement, members supported the proposal.

The Town Clerk presented members with a copy of the current ear marked reserves and it was approved by members to take £5,400 from the election reserves and £4,600 from other balances reserves.

Resolved: It was resolved to match fund £10,000 for Maes Y Dre play area, taking £5,400 from the election ear marked reserves and £4,600 from other balances ear marked reserves.

MOLD TOWN COUNCIL

Minutes of the meeting of Mold Town Council Community, Development &Regeneration Committee held at 6.00pm on Tuesday 10th October 2017 at Mold Town Hall.

PRESENT: Councillors: Anthony Parry (Chair), Karen Hodgkinson (Deputy Mayor), Andrea Mearns, Teresa Nickson, Chris Bithell, Robin Guest, Yvon Jones and the Town Manager.

Also Present: Dan Read, proprietor of Music is Now Event Management

10. APOLOGIES: Councillors Bob Gaffey (Mayor), Geoff Collett and the Support Officer.

11. DECLARATIONS OF INTEREST

There were no declarations of interest expressed.

12. MOLD LIVE

Councillor Parry welcomed Mr Read, proprietor of Music is Now Event Management to discuss a proposal to hold an event in Mold called "Mold Live" which is a live music event and would follow a similar approach to a successful event in Chester.

Mr Read referred to the proposal document that had been previously circulated to members and explained that he had an affinity with Mold through family connections and had lived in the town. He was impressed with the vibrancy in Mold and the type of events that the Town held. He believed that Mold offered an opportunity for an event similar to Chester Live and was intending to organise something similar over the August Bank Holiday weekend in the town.

The approach would be for multi-venues, involving primarily local public houses and other venues that could hold live music, for example, St Mary's Church Hall, social clubs and potentially Theatr Clwyd. He explained that he would also like to include an outdoor street event, possibly on Mold High Street. Primarily, local talent performing original music would feature and performers that included use of the Welsh language would be encouraged.

He explained that Mold Live would be organized on the basis of a Community Interest Company whereby any money raised would be ploughed back into the event, so that it (and other events) could be funded for the longer term. It was to be organized primarily by volunteers and hoped for sponsors to come forward.

Councillor Mearns asked about the type of music to be included. Mr Read explained that all types of music would be included and not restricted to one particular genre, for example in Chester performers had ranged from choirs, classical, jazz, blues, instrumental and he sought genres to suit the venue. He illustrated that in Y Pentan, they already held successful Rock nights, whilst the Fat Boar would be more suited to acoustic music.

7

Councillor Parry asked how the event made money, as many of the venues already provided their entertainment free of charge. Mr Read explained that this approach would continue, however he would also seek other venues could make a charge through ticket sales and he would also be seeking some grant funding.

Members raised concern about their being a potential clash and confusion with the successful "Live on the Square" event which is to continue in 2018 and the event must not detract from the other events which the Town Council already supported.

Councillor Jones raised an issue of not approaching sponsors who were already funding Mold's existing events as there were only a finite number of sponsorship opportunitie_s within a town the size of Mold.

Mr Read agreed and explained that he wished to work in collaboration with the Town Council and organisers of other events. He viewed that Mold Live would not compete, but was intended to compliment what already took place.

Councillor Hodgkinson brought up the importance of the street market to Mold and that the event shouldn't compete with it. Mr Read agreed and stated that any street festival would take place on the Sunday.

The Town Manager stated that he was pleased to hear that he wished to work with the town and the community volunteers who were already organising successful music events; however the comment had been passed as to "why he had chosen Mold and what did he hope to personally gain". Mr Read informed the committee that he believed Mold was the right place to hold an event of this type and whilst he knew he personally was not going to make money from the event, certainly in the short to medium term, he did believe that in the longer term he may be able to take a fee for his services but was not concerned if this wasn't possible as he did enjoy organising events. He stated that Mold Live would contribute towards the overall reputation he and his event company enjoyed.

The Town Manager asked what Mr Read therefore wanted from the Town Council as capacity of officers and volunteers were already stretch ed. Mr Read said he recognised this situation. He asked the Town Council for their backing and support, possibly a financial contribution and access to the public areas for which the Town Council already held a Premises Licence. He stated that whilst he already had sufficient volunteers to make the event a success, he hoped that at least some of the organising group that formed the Community Interest Company would come from the Mold area and possibly the Town Council. Other community volunteers would also be more than welcome to become involved.

Councillor Parry thanked Mr Read for his attendance and useful discussion with the Committee members and they would consider his proposal.

Resolved: Following subsequent discussion it was resolved that:

To agree in principle for Mold Town Council to endorse and give its support to the Mold Live event with the following proviso's:

a) Mold Live being organised via a Community Interest Company is the most favoured approach with members of the Mold community actively involved.

8

b) Mr Read to meet with members of the organising group of Live on the Square to ideally establish joint support for each event and if possible, work together for the benefit of all and especially the town.

c) It doesn't conflict or compete with the established events in the town Council already supported.

d) A more detailed Event Plan is produced and agreed by the Town Council, to ensure no reputational or financial risk exists for Mold Town Council.

e) When an Event Plan is agreed, a request for financial support could be considered.

f) If local sponsorship is sought, to confer with the Town Council as to whether the approach may jeopardise any current arrangements with that potential sponsor.

Dan Read left the meeting at 6.15pm

13. MINUTES

Resolved: It was resolved that:

a) The minutes of the meeting of the Community, Development &Regeneration Committee meeting held on 11th July 2017 received and approved.

14. INFORMATION ARISING FROM THE MINUTES

Minute 3 - Councillor Hodgkinson confirmed that she was taking forward the relocation of the moquette from the Library to the Daniel Owen Centre but this had not as yet taken place.

Minute 4 - The Town Manager introduced a letter that had been agreed by Flintshire County Council for distribution to anyone seen feeding pigeons in the town. Apart from a couple of typing errors the letter was approved by members.

15. INTERPRETATION PANEL

The Town Manager introduced a draft of the proposed Railway Station Interpretation Panel. Following discussion, it was members agreed that the Mold Town Council & Cittaslow logo's should be included on the panel. To keep in line with the Visitor Information Panels, it was suggested captions should be inserted for the photographs which are included on the panel.

Councillor Mearns suggested the look of the transportation panels should match the new interpretation panels which are being produced for the Bailey Hill, these have a "rusted look" metal surround.

It was requested members sign off the finished design before they go into production.

9

Resolved: It was resolved that:-

a) The transportation panel include the Town Council and Cittaslow logo

b) The design is in keeping with the current Visitors Information Panels

c) The 'rusted look' of the Bailey Hill panel is included

d) Members sign off the finished design before they go into production.

16. STREETSCENE UPDATE

The Town Manager provided members with an update on the town's streetscene from Andrew Lightfoot, Streetscene Supervisor Flintshire County Council, who was unable to attend the meeting.

Flintshire County Council (FCC) had commissioned a survey of the drainage system at Love Lane car park and it had been discovered that the drains from the town, which ran along King Street, finished at the "soakaway" for the car park drainage. It was believed that this was the cause of the Love Lane car park flooding and as a result FCC intended to connect that drain to the main drain running along Denbigh Road which hopefully will resolve flooding issues.

The proposed pedestrian walkway across New Street car park had now received funding approval and was being undertaken within the next month

The High Street slabs which had been "repaired"by contractors with concrete had now been addressed.

Flintshire County Council had confirmed they had no objection to an outside defibrillator cabinet being installed on the outside of the New Street public convenience and the Town Clerk had now submitted planning application to FCC.

The damaged bus shelter on Wrexham Road had now been replaced.

Following discussion, members asked the Town Manager to take forward the following issues with the Streetscene Supervisor:-

• The autumnal leaves were now in urgent need of being cleared in the town.

• The bus station lighting was in need of attention, especially as dark evenings were fast approaching.

• The covers to the BT access points in the town were slippy and dangerous and members had received complaints from people slipping over. The most urgent need being the cover on the High Street outside Mold Bookshop.

• Members asked if the hole in the anti-pigeon mesh alongside Nationwide Building Society and the Clocktower building could be repaired.

• Membersasked for consideration to be made to install at least one electric vehicle charging point in a town centre car park.

1

• It was requested the dangerous branches on trees in Bryn Coch Lane be addressed.

• Members requested an update on position regarding the town footpath slurry that went up to and around trees embedded in footpaths.

• Members requested clarification on the process FCC undertakes, should there be a request for a residents parking scheme.

Resolved: It was resolved that the Town Manager would take forward members requests and concerns with the Streetscene Supervisor.

17. FESTIVE MARKET

The Town Manager provided members with a verbal update on the progress for the Christmas Market. Councillor Mearns raised a concern that on setting up the market, due diligence must be paid to pedestrians passing the site and especially children attending the Christmas Lights switch-on.

Resolved: It was resolved to note information.

18. TRAFFIC MANAGEMENT REVIEW

The Town Manager gave members an update on the first meeting of the Traffic Management review for the town. He informed members that the Town Council had been requested to provide an updated list of issues and proposals which members felt should addressed to assist positive traffic management in the town. The Town Manager provided members with a list of issues first identified in 2013.

Councillor Parry raised his concerns that the proposed Victoria Road cycleway was to go ahead contrary to views expressed by him and a number of residents that the proposal was not fit for purpose. Councillor Bithell informed the members that as a County Councillor for the area, proper consultation had taken place on the issue and that apart from the odd exception; Flintshire County Council had concluded that there was a majority in favour of the proposed cycleway and allied traffic management measures. The matter was now proceeding to the statutory notices.

Members disputed the conclusion that the proposal had been properly consulted on and requested that the Town Council make further representation to Flintshire County Council on the matter and it was requested the Town Clerk follow up this matter with Flintshire County Council.

Resolved: Following discussion it was resolved:

a) To request the Town Clerk to make enquiries with Flintshire County Council on the current status of the proposed Victoria Road cycleway and the Town Council's ability to make further representations.

b) To request the Town Clerk circulate the 2013 traffic issues list to all members asking for their current observations and that the CDR Committee would then review suggestions and decide on which issues to refer to Flintshire County Council for attention.

1

19. CCTV IN THE TOWN

The Town Manager informed members that he had received requests from Flintshire County Council (FCC) CCTV manager that there was areas within the town not covered by CCTV which were causing problems in achieving effective monitoring. He also added that North Wales Police had requested the Town Council's support in providing them with a redeployable CCTV solution to be used in hotspots for crime/ substance misuse/ anti-social behaviour.

The Town Clerk had indicated to the Town Manager that a budgetary provision was already in place of £11,000 for CCTV; however the total cost for both the FCC and North Wales Police request would be substantially more than this and therefore the CDR Committee would have to make a request to full Council for additional funding if it was felt that the Town Council should accede to the requests.

Currently only one quote had been received from FCC and North Wales Police, which is contrary to the Town Council's financial regulations for making sizeable purchases. Councillor Mearns pointed out that the quote from FCC was very poor and not sufficiently specific to allow any decision to be made. Councillor Parry raised the issue of the "Exclusions" shown on the quote as to how these were to be financed and what were the costs involved. He also sought information on what FCC were contributing to the request.

Resolved: It was resolved to agree in principle that the CDR Committee would support both requests, however greater detail was required before any decision was made and any proposal must comply with Town Council financial regulations.

Councillors Bithell, Hodgkinson, Nickson and Guest left the meeting at 7.20pm

Due to only three members of Council remaining in the meeting, the committee was not quorate, remaining members held an informal discussion only on agenda items 20 and 21 until the meeting closed.

Meeting finished at 7.30pm

FROM: David G Hill - Town Manager

DATE: 21 st November 2017

REPORT RE: Update on North Wales Blues & Soul Festival

Further to my report dated 18th October 2017, I can now confirm that the Event Steering group met onth

November and drew the following conc lusions for this year's Blues and Sou l Festival.

• Organisationally the event ran very well with a majority of attendees expressing positive comments about

the event itself, location, quality of music, facilities, prices charged, etc. The Steering Group however

believes that it needs new volunteers and ideas both in organisationally progressing the event and also

act ively delivering it.• Numbers attending were nearly 30% low er this year than in 2016, particularly on the Sunday. It is viewed

that the poor weather was the main cause of the reduction in attendees although it was pleasing that the

number of visitors from further afield, (evidence from number of campers and pre-booked tickets)

continued the steady increase year on year being experienced.

• The nature and primary objectives of the event must remain the same viz: bringing visitors to Mold and

holding a Blues & Soul festival, as opposed to a general or other music genre event. The Steering

Group recognised the many of the observations expressed by Members at the last Town Council were

valid however and needed to be addressed. The St eering Group had already identifi ed most.

• The annual date of the festival was discussed (first weekend in August) and it was considered that issues

would arise on many other dates in the year, and particularly potential clashes with other simi lar festivals

across the UK. It was therefore concluded that the festival shou ld remain on the same weekend.

• The Festival had alway s been a 3-5 years project and had (to date) more than covered its cost even

though 2017 had shown a financial short fall. It was also commented that whilst the event Balance Sheet

showed the "cash" spent and received, it was only fair and proper that full acknow ledgement was given

to the significant contribution in kind provided by volunteers and supp li ers of goods and services, to the

event. If the "in-kind" contributions were to be costed, then the "income" would be subst ant ial ly

increased and therefore reflect a much more positive financial picture.

• The Ste erin g Group, valued the huge contribution and visio n Mold Town Counci l has made in securing

the inception and ongoing viabi lit y of the event which was (steadily) achiev ing one of the events' primary

objectives of bringing more people to the town. The group appreciated therefore that the Town Council

had a duty to ensure that financial risk in staging the event, is minimised.

For 2018, the Steering Group therefore will be looking to introduce new initi atives to address concerns and

identified issues and take the event forward positively. To that end therefore, being considered is:

• Reducing the numbers of performers and length of time of the festival on the Sunday, and using money saved towards a more major household name as a festival headline act, who would have greater appeal

to potential festival attendees. That individual (or individuals) however will still have their roots and performing sty le, reflected in the genre of "Blues and Sou l" so as to maintain the events core values

and

objectives.• Continuing to develop t he fest ival' s USP (Unique Selling Point) of bringing in perform ers from acro ss

Europe and furth er afie ld to Mold, so developin g its int ernat ion al context which many other UK based

similar fest ivals curr ent ly do not provide. Whilst t he North Wales Blu es and Sou l Festival is now

beginning

to become recognised within the musical genre and numbers of regular followers steadily improving, it

is recognised that much more can and needs to be done however, to enhance the events

attractiveness and overall appeal within the wider national scene.

• Increasing local appeal by maintaining the Friday "Local night" and seeking to attract greater numbers of

those living within an hour travel of Mold. Securing greater local attendees is much more vulnerable to

the vagaries of weather and forecasts however.

• Endeavouring to attract younger attendees to the event through special marketing initiatives and its

pricing structure. For example, many of the performers at the 2017 event were under 30 years of age and

some under 20 years, however this fact was not widely appreciated. The Group is also exploring the

potential of "master classes" and "tuition workshops" being offered to younger people at the event.

Observations from younger festival attendees attending was extremely positive and encouraging, and the

Steering Group strongly believes that the Blues and Soul music genre is not generational based for

enjoyment and this critical message has to be taken forward more actively.

• Taking up opportunities to develop strategic relationships with larger sponsors (both financial and on a

contra basis) to help take the event forward. For example, a major hospitality player and renowned blues

musician has offered to bring in expertise, potential finance and other benefits for the event.

• Undertaking a review of costs, commission earned, quality received by the providers of goods and

services to ensure best value.

• Further develop the positive relationship enjoyed with Mold Alex Football Club with the provision of

camping facilities, Flintshire Tourism Association with room provision and Mold's wider hospitality

sector generally.

• Ensure that wet weather provision is fit for purpose and can be scaled-up, should weather forecasts be

inclement.

• Seek to recruit more volunteers to both sit on the Steering Group and help with the event it self .

Conclusion

The North Wales Blues and Soul Steering Group stro ngly believes that the Festival has a long-term future in the

town of Mold and whilst 2017 was not t he most financially viable of years, appropriate learn in g has taken

place and identifi ed issue s are being responded to positively.

DECISION REQUIRED

To note the update report and agree on Town Council suppo rt for a 2018 North Wales Blues and Soul

Festival as it is now crit ical that the event planning can go ahead with that certainty.

Mold Live 2018 Proposal

The team behind the hugely successful Chester Live (www.chesterlive.co.uk) event are now proposing to create a 'live' event in the Welsh town of Mold for 2018: Mold Live.

Currently we are looking at the following dates: 23rd - 27th August 2018.

Our History:

Dan Read at The Core Pr omot ions has over 9 years of experience of running live music events all over the North West and North Wales.

Currently residing in Deeside, North Wales, but with his main work base in Chest er, Dan has a family connection with Mold with his family being the former owners of Pen Y Bont farm, Mold. ·

In 2015 Dan created 'Chester Live' as a city wide live music event encompassin g as many live music venues and art spac es as possible for 4 days of live music and activities.

As Festival Co-Ordinat or, Dan has driven t he event forward to the point where in 2017 over 8500 people attended the events across t he festival weekend, with almost 6000 people att endingthe Chester Live Street Festival alo ne.

We want to bring this succ essto Mold in the form of Mold Live.

What will Mold Live be?

Mold Live will be a community based, multi venue 'liv e' event based in t he North Wales town of Mold. Our aim will be to promot e all forms of live music and events to the local community, and bring the community t oget her to get involved with projects which will incorporate all ages and all backgrounds.

We' ll brin g a community cohesion through live music, and will introduce people of all ages and ethnic backgrounds to local live acts from Mold and

surrounding areas, with a focus on Welsh artists, and the Welsh Celtic

heritage of the town.

We'll look to provide several free live music events across the town of Mold; some small scale and some on a larger scale. We'll also look to incorporate all local pubs, venues and 'spaces' into the event and some of which will have charges for entry. These charges will help to fund the events and pay for the artists playing the events.

Our Team

For the last 3 years the team behind Chester Live has promoted a city-wide event across Chester with no major incidents. There Is a core group of staff who take on the main duties of driving all events forward, who are then supported by a large team of volunteers. In 2017, we had 25 volunteers working on the Chester Live event .

As Mold Live would be a bilingual event, we are delighted to have 2 Welsh speakers on our team, one of whom is a Welsh teacher.

Although we'd always welcome any help from local volunteers, our team is

strong enough and big enough to manage such an event as Mold Live.

We'd also contact local schools and colleges to engage with them for support.

Dan Read also works with the Focus Wales team in Wrexham so has access to

their support team if needed.

We have a large team of technical support behind our events, but would also be delighted to work with Charlie Broadhurst who has come highly recommended to us.

Funding:

It'll be our intention to apply for funding from the Arts Council Of Wales, The

Big Lottery Fund, Flintshire CC and other revenue streams eg sponsorship.

Any funding from Mold Town Council to make the event a success would be

greatly welcome as we believe the event will bring a large number of people to

Mold for that Bank Holiday weekend. We'd also like to use any 'spaces'

managed by Mold Town Council for the event where possible and feasible for

the event as a whole.

What next?

We'd be interested in discussing with the proposed event with the town

council asap as the event will take 12 months to plan and deliver. If there

can be agreement on the event, we'd then embark on completing artwork to

promote the event and then contact all the local pubs, venues and 'spaces'

to encourage them to be involved.

For the event to be a success like Chester Live it is vital that these parties are

all on board and behind the event for the next 12 months promotion.

In terms of IT, we already own the IP 'www.moldlive.co.uk' so emails

address' for key staff can be set up relatively quickly by our IT team.

In Conclusion:

From our own experiences large scale, multiple venue events can be

challenging work. However, the reward for the hard work is always worth it.

The footfall and income generate by Chester Live 2017 was unprecedented

for many of the businesses in Chester. In terms of our Chester Live Street

Festival (which was a fee event on a Sunday), many businesses on Brook

Street, Chester recorded larger revenue than they would generate on a busy

Saturday.

Our aim is to always engage with all parts of the community, but with a

keen eye on the younger generation, our next generation.

We believe we can deliver an exceptional event to Mold in 2018.

We hope that we can get support from Mold Town Council and other local businesses and we look forward to hearing from you in the very near future.

Mold Live Proposal - August Bank Holiday Event

Mold Carnival would like to raise their concerns regarding the proposal which the CDR Committee

has received from Dan Read, owner of Music is Now and organiser of Mold Live. Music is Now,

according to their website, is a leading event management company based in Chester whose

principle events are Chester Live and Mold Live.

Chester Live took over the previously named Brook Street carnival a few years ago and the format

of this event has not changed from when it was Brook Street carnival. Mold Live's proposal is to

hold a similar event outside on Mold High Street over the August Bank Holiday with a number of

stalls, food, drink and a stage hosting live music, including local original music being performed.

Within their marketing of Mold Live, they state they plan to deliver an inclusive, community based

event which focuses on original live acts from North Wales and the surrounding areas and they are

looking forward to working with Mold Town Council and other local businesses.

The format of Mold Live's outside event is almost a duplicate of Mold Carnival's High Street event

which takes place a month earlier. Mold Carnival delivers an inclusive, community based event

and always have at least 2-3 local performers playing original music at each year. For example last

year, The Jarvis Brothers, Josh Hall and Laura Wilson all played and performed their own original

music on the main stage.

The concept that Mold Live is proposin g is not new and far from original to Mold, in fact original

music performed by local artists can be heard at many of the events which take place in Mold,

including the carnival, Live on the Square, Food Festival, Bailey Hill Festival, Flintshire Pride as

well as in the lo cal pubs and Theatr Clwyd.

Mold Carnival is organised by a group of dedicated volunteers who all live or work in Mold and do

this for their community which they feel passionately about. We do not profit in anyway from the

organisation of the event and we are concerned that if Mold Live goes ahead, with the support of

Mold Town Council, this will impact on the future of the Carnival especially with regards to

sponsorship, which is greatly needed to allow us to continue to fund the carnival as a free event.

As a group of volunteer organisers, we cannot compete with a professional event management

company when it comes to sponsorship packages and proposals.

To have an event so similar to our own the following month, we feel we have no other option than

to object to this event being allowed to proceed with the support of Mold Town Council.

Mold already has a very active and busy event calendar, majority of which are organised by

volunteers or non profit organisations

Kind regards

Mold Carnival Committee

F.A.O:

Cllr. Anthony Parry (Chair of CDR Committee & MTC Representative on Mold Carnival

Committee)

Cllr. Karen Hodgkinson (MTC Representative on Live on the Square & Mold Carnival

Committee)

Dave Hill (Mold Town Manager)

Dear all,

As you are aware, there has been an approach from Dan Read to hold an event, 'Mold

Live' in August 2018, and as such the 'Live on the Square' committee have been asked

for their thoughts due to the similarity of the two events. Live on the Square (LOS) is a

non profit live music event held in Mold, featuring cover and original bands and music,

organised by a local volunteer committee. After discussions within the LOS committee,

below shows our reservations and objections with such an event moving forward.

Our first event held in April 17 was very successful and it has always been the

intention of the LOS committee to expand and increase the number of events to be

held in Mold throughout the summer months, starting in 2018. This will include a fund-

raising event for the town Mayor (the current Deputy Mayor is LOS committee

member) as part of her M ayoral year of office. Any m onies raised from our events, go

straight back into the Town Council event fund, which in return is used to fund future

events and activities within the town.

Dan Read has mentioned that he is looking at multiple venues for hi s proposed event.

We have confirmed LOS does not have any imm ediat e pl ans to work with the local pubs

,

in relation to our events, LOS events will be outside within the public spaces but we are

also looking at incorporating indoor community venues within the town.

Mold is a vibrant town and already has a busy active event calendar with an excellent

reputation with events being organised by a number of dedicated volunteers throughout

the year. It is, however, only a small town and can only sustain so many music and

other events and it is our genuine concern that the proposed "Mold Live" would be a

step too far for the town and especially given out stated intention of growing the

number of events being organised by the LOS committee, it would adversely impact on

the potential success of our future events.

It is also our understaning that Dan Read is looking to hold an event on the High Street

with many stalls, bars and live music? This, is very much in line with our own 'Mold

Carnival' event (with which many of the LOS committee members are involved with),

which occurs on the second week in July (very close to Dans proposed event). Mold

Carnival has been going from strength to strength over the years, and as such, we feel

even a slightly scaled down version of the event would be a threat to the hard work the

Carnival committee have been doing over the years in making the event the established

and successful one it has become.

We, the LOS committee, do not feel we can support the 'Mold Live' proposal, as it is too

similar to our own current offer and would impact on our future ambitions. We feel, that

as a town, a collective, the events that are organised are not the only vessel that brings

the people of Mold together, but also the organisers and fant ast ic local volunteers that

make these occasions possible.

Kind Regards,

Live on t he Square Organi sing Com mitt ee
