But it crosses the line and becomes antisocial when the volume of the music is so loud that it\u2019s impacting on the wellbeing of the local community.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"bristolpost\">\u201cWe take unlicensed music events seriously because we have seen countless times before they are often being held in unsuitable locations and with insufficient plans in place to manage a large number of people attending. That creates a real risk to public safety, notwithstanding the impact on other people living in the area.<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"bristolpost\">\u201cIt\u2019s why we ask anyone who has information about a forthcoming unlicensed music event, or sees the early signs of one being set up, please reports it to us online or on 101.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"Paragraph_paragraph-text__PVKlh \" data-tmdatatrack=\"content-unit\" data-tmdatatrack-type=\"paragraph\" publication=\"bristolpost\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\"><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\">Join our new Whatsapp community! <\/strong><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\"><a class=\"TextLink_text-link__dBSS0 TextLink_enabled__dJF3l\" href=\"https:\/\/chat.whatsapp.com\/HV9EnV3tai719FYENB0cCl\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Click this linkLink opens in a new tab.\" tabindex=\"0\" rel=\"noopener\">Click this link<\/a><\/strong><strong class=\"Strong_strong__e2x35\"> to receive your daily dose of Christmas in Bristol content.
