Permanent Licence Approved for Morden Park to Streamline Event Planning
Merton Council has approved a permanent premises licence for Morden Park, aiming to streamline the process for hosting safe, high-quality events. While events will still require council permission and meet strict conditions, the new licence will simplify applications and allow greater focus on safety and planning.
The Council has allowed various day festivals in Morden Park, including RnB Nation and Garage Nation, and other events. This Premises Licence will better manage commercial park use and residents expectations.
The application drew objections from local residents and campaigners, including Friends of the Earth.
