“With regard to Glastonbury Festival Events Limited holding a concert in September, we’ve heard concerns from residents, and those concerns are reflected in more than 50 conditions that have been added to this license. We believe they’re sensible measures, and match the perceived risk of the event.

“With a view to Covid-19, of course, any event would have to be Covid-safe, and Mendip will work with other organizations and the organizers to make sure that’s the case.”
