Date Posted: 14:07:13 04/30/08 Wed Derbyshire police are opposing the application of a licence for the Rock and Blues Custom Show, believing it would present ‘the most opportunity for high-profile retaliation’ for the murder of Gerard Tobin on the M40 as he returned home from attending the Bulldog Bash. About 15,000 people are expected to attend the event, causing Police to voice their fears. Assistant Chief Constable Peter Goodman said "Given the potential risks, we do not believe that the event organisers can adequately manage or police the event so as to ensure public safety.” "We did consider the possibility of placing conditions on the licence to manage the risks to public safety, but based on the evidence which has now come to light, we believe there are no conditions which could be placed upon the licence which would, in the opinion of Derbyshire Constabulary, ensure the public would be safe.” "We do recognise the right of law-abiding members of the public to congregate and enjoy gatherings but the force has a duty to take action where there is evidence that illegal activity may take place and public safety is threatened."
