Man gets Asbo for organising rave

A 63-year-old Hertfordshire man has been given an anti-social behaviour order (Asbo) after an illegal rave on National Trust land in North Norfolk.
Christopher Farrow from Hitchin was given the Asbo for organising the rave at Horsey Gap at the beginning of May.

The illegal event on a Site of Special Scientific Interest involved about 1,000 people and hundreds of vehicles which left damage over a wide area.

The order against Mr Farrow will remain in place for three years.

It means that he will not be allowed to perform at or allow any of his equipment to be used at any unlicensed event in a public place at which amplified music is played in Norfolk.

Hilary Nelson, from North Norfolk District Council, said: "Mr Farrow is welcome to perform at licensed venues in North Norfolk, but he should not feel free to organise and then participate in unlicensed raves.

"His activities have brought widespread chaos and misery and have caused great inconvenience to local residents and genuine visitors to the area."
