The 5 supporters of the licence application for Northwick Park K-Pop Festival

 The Brent Council report records 5 supporters of the granting of a licence to for a K-Pop Festival in Northwick Park. These are set out below:

MIK Festival Resident Support

Supporter 1
This is a great opportunity to make the area a destination, to support the local economy, community spirit, and safety by bringing in positive community activities into the park which will deter unsavoury and criminal activities and individuals.

Supporter 2
This is a very good opportunity for the community to get together, and also for the more under-represented demographic (e.g. East Asians) to showcase their cultural practices. Having a community event such as this will also mean that relationships can be closely fostered within the area, especially amongst the residents. There is a lot of positivity to be had out of this, given that the Northwick Park area is prone to anti social behaviour.

Supporter 3
I was very excited to hear about this proposal. This will be a wonderful event for different cultures to come together and will mean a lot to the East Asian community and beyond. My young nieces would love to see this event go forward, so this message of support is for them too. How I wish something like this happened when I was younger and growing up in Brent. Representation matters!!!

Supporter 4
I’d like to support this incentive. It will boost the local economy and will be an exciting addition to the community. Music and the arts is always a positive thing.

Supporter 5
Another venue for entertainment around this area must be a good thing to promote the area.

Unfortunately the Gaelic Football will be cancelled, probably ruining their season completely, plus one Cricket Pitch will also be lost. But don't worry, some people here think it's a good idea to have a concert partly funded by the Arts Council to the tune of £450,000 and catering for a Korean population that doesn't exist in the area. As for the people who live within a few yards of the event, including hospital shift workers, let 'em suck it up. As for there being a boost to the local economy, how, the event is a lock in. There are no catering outlets anywhere around before or after the event. Some people may such uniformed comments.
