A YOUTH group cancelled a planned music event at a church hall on advice from police officers.

The Framlingham and Area Youth Action Partnership book St Michael’s Rooms in the town every other Friday night.

It is believed last night’s session had been promoted on the internet as a DJ night and a large crowd was expected.

Police became aware of the gathering and advised organisers that permission would have to be secured for such an event, after which the night was called off.

A force spokesman said: “Police became aware of a number of people planning to attend an evening at St Michael’s rooms in Framlingham on Friday night.

“Following advice from officers in relation to the requirement for a Temporary Event Notice the organisers cancelled the evening and the Framlingham and Area Youth Action Partnership decided to close the youth group this week.”
