EMIRATES STADIUM Proposal to Increase the Number of Music EMIRATES STADIUM Proposal to increase the number of music concerts STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY CONSULTATION Prepared for Arsenal FC by February 2013 EMIRATES STADIUM - Proposal to increase the number of music concerts STATEMENT OF COMMUNITY CONSULTATION 1. Introduction As part of its commitment to consulting with the community on its proposals for the Emirates Stadium and the surrounding area, Arsenal FC commissioned Quatro to devise and organise a public consultation programme on its initial proposal to increase the number of music concerts at the Emirates Stadium from three per year to nine per year. This report sets out the details of the consultation programme; a summary of the main points made by residents and details of how Arsenal FC has responded to the issues raised by residents. 2. The Proposal The May 2002 planning permission restricted the number of music concert events that can be held at the stadium to a maximum of 3 events a year and this is controlled by a planning condition which states: “There shall be no more than 6 non-association football single day major events1 (of which a maximum of 3 could be music concert events) in any 12 month period of which total no more than one shall be on a Sunday and not more than one on a Bank Holiday.” Arsenal FC propose to submit an application to vary this planning condition to extend the number of days that concert (major) events can be held at the Stadium to six per year, to be held over three weekends, starting in 2014. The initial proposal was to increase the number of concerts to nine, but in response to the public consultation exercises, this proposal has been reduced to six concerts per year. Arsenal Football Club has successfully held concerts at Emirates Stadium on Friday 30th May 2008 and Saturday 31st May 2008 (Bruce Springsteen), Sunday 7th June 2009 (Capital FM Summertime Ball) and more recently on Friday 1st June, Saturday 2nd June and Monday 4th June 2012 (Coldplay). In June 2013, the Club plans to hold three further concerts, which will feature Green Day and Muse. The main points of the proposal are; Concert events will not exceed 60,000 capacity Concert events will be held at the end of the football season, generally at the end of May and beginning of June on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays Concert events will end before 11pm (with the music ending at 10.30pm) Concert noise levels will be kept to the existing permitted levels Concert events will not be held simultaneously with events large music events in Finsbury Park Not more than one concert event will be held on a Bank Holiday and no more than three on a Sunday Sound checking and concert start times will be communicated to all local residents in the form of a newsletter created and distributed by Islington Council, funded by Arsenal Light spill will be kept to a minimum during clean up after each event. Floodlights will be turned off as soon as it is safe to do so and the final clean will be carried out by existing in house lights Load-In will take place during normal working hours. Load-Out will occur immediately after the last concert 3. The Coldplay Experience As a result of the experience gained during the recent Coldplay concerts, in planning future concerts Arsenal will be: Introducing additional measures to further control the times when sound checks can take place Restricting the sale of alcohol on the pitch area Providing more information to residents on when the concerts are taking place Providing more information to concert goers on their public transport options 4. The Public Consultation Programme The public consultation programme included the following actions; Producing a 6-page Newsletter which was delivered to 6,000 homes in the area around the Emirates Stadium. The newsletter included a Freepost Comments Card and email address for comments, together with a direct line phone number to the Quatro team and a link to the Arsenal website where a copy of the newsletter was also available, as well as a facility for making comments (http://www.arsenal.com/residentsconsultation) A copy of the Newsletter was also emailed to all Islington Councillors and Members of Parliament and to nearly 1,000 people on the Club’s database of those residents who had made enquiries in the past about events at the Emirates Stadium. A press release was issued to the local media to ensure wide coverage of the public consultation programme. The local press coverage included; http://www.islingtontribune.com/news/2012/oct/bid-triple-emirates-concerts- %E2%80%98sheer-greed%E2%80%99 http://islingtonnow.co.uk/emirates-noise-risk-worries-highbury-residents/ http://www.islingtongazette.co.uk/news/arsenal_s_emirates_big_name_conce rt_plans_rock_residents_1_1660988 Presentation to the Highbury West and Highbury East Ward Partnership meetings on 16th and 25th October 2012. There were about 40 residents at each of these meetings. 5. Highbury West Ward Partnership Meeting - Tuesday 16th October 2012 Present; Councillors Theresa De Bono (Chair), Andy Hull and Richard Greening, together with members of the Highbury Community Association, Friends of Gillespie Park, Finsbury Park Mosque, Old Stadium Residents’ Association and residents living in the ward. Present for Arsenal FC; Ken Friar, Jon Murch and Paul Dimoldenberg Following a presentation of the Concerts proposal and an outline of the pre- application consultation, the following questions were asked and issues were raised; Will the increased number of concerts increase the rateable value of the Emirates Stadium and therefore the amount paid in rates by Arsenal? Questions were raised about the extent of the catchment area for Arsenal’s pre-application public consultation. A number of residents (in Highbury Park and in the old Stadium) said they had not received the consultation newsletter. It was suggested that the Council’s statutory consultation should include all those within the match day CPZ. It was also suggested that Arsenal should display the Concerts proposal information at Underground stations that would be affected so that underground users, particularly older residents, are made aware of the proposal. It was suggested that, in order that Gillespie Park could remain open during the proposed Concerts, the Club should station stewards at the gates to control access. Concerns were raised about the impact of concerts in late May/early June on young people living in the area who are studying for the GCSEs and A levels over the same period. It was suggested that the Club liaise with local secondary schools on this matter. It was suggested that the proposed concerts should also include a community element and/or a quieter ‘non-rock’ element, as a way of contributing to the local community. It was suggested that the club should organise a lottery for “100 free tickets” for local residents/local groups as a way ‘giving something back” A representative from Finsbury Park Mosque wanted to the Club to work closer with his organisation to offer opportunities to young people. He was asked to contact Alan Sefton who runs the Arsenal in the Community programme and was given Alan’s details. General concerns were raised about Arsenal’s contribution to the community. The meeting was told of the Arsenal in the Community programme which has been operating for over 25 years and organises a wide range of sporting, educational and community events across Islington every day involving many thousands of local young people. 6. Highbury East Ward Partnership Meeting - Thursday 25th October 2012 Present: Councillor John Gilbert (Chair), Councillor Julie Horten and about 40 people. Present for Arsenal FC; Ken Friar, Jon Murch and Gary Pleasants Following the presentation there were a number of statements/questions from residents. Key points that were raised included: Arsenal says they want to make better use of the stadium that is empty for most of the year. However, despite wanting to increase the number of concerts it still will be unused for 327 days. Local residents refer to the summer months as the ‘off season’. Not happy with nine concerts on three consecutive weekends. Disrupts their ability to move around the area, use public transport etc. A resident who lived 1km from the stadium said he had no details of who to contact at the Club or Council about any issues with the Coldplay concert Concern that Coldplay might not be typical of the bands playing at the stadium and that there could more ‘hard core’ performers with more unruly fans and that Arsenal would not have any control over this. Socio economic benefits. Questions were asked about who would benefit locally, how will the benefits be quantified. There were claims that local residents don’t use local shops and services on match days, therefore a number of local businesses actually suffer not gain. It was also asked if those preparing the report will be consulting/speaking with local businesses? Can local people contribute to the report? Questions were raised about the cost of football and the concerts to local tax payers. How much does the policing of a football match cost the local tax payer? How much does it cost the council in terms of refuse collection etc? (Arsenal pays £3.5m in business rates) Stewarding arrangements – what can the club do to steward crowds more effectively outside the ground to stop people going where they shouldn’t. Comments were made about Arsenal’s commercial revenues dwarfing its charitable donations (£1.5m pa). Questions were asked about how much money Arsenal spends in the community. How much money will it make from the music concerts? What are the benefits for local people of staging more concerts? What will Arsenal do if the application is rejected – appeal? What other non-commercial uses has the Club considered for the stadium – to make it more sustainable? May and June are periods when young people are studying for exams – the concerts will be disruptive and potentially harm their chances of success Has the Club consulted local education stakeholders? During the original planning application for the stadium the club re-assured local people that it would not have any more than three concerts.

San Jose CA, USA Received: June 14, 2015 Accepted: August 2, 2015 Online Published: September 24, 2015, 2015 DOI: 10.5430/air.v5n1p1 URL: http://dx.doi.org/10.5430/air.v5n1p1 ABSTRACT In this article we present a framework to extract user interests from social network profiles such as Facebook to personalize recommendations about products and services. Matching users’ interests as keywords with product attributes as keywords, performed by currently available personalization systems, has a very low recall, so more general category-based framework is needed. It turns out that substantial reasoning about products and their categories is required to match a taxonomy of the owner of products and services, with that of a user, as expressed in a public profile. To handle inconsistencies between these taxonomies, a mapping of one into another is expressed as a Defeasible Logic program (DeLP), where a potential mapping can be defeated by other ones if relevant information becomes available. Events and things to do are recommended at StubHub.com and www.facebook.com/StubHub/ so that the reader can observe the system at a scale. Also, we present content management system which supports personalized recommendation is outlined. Key Words: Personalization, Recommendation of event attendance, Mapping categories of interest 1.I NTRODUCTION methodology of adjustment to prior knowledge about users is still to be developed.

  • The Output and Impact of Commercial Radio
    ACTION STATIONS THE OUTPUT AND IMPACT OF COMMERCIAL RADIO CONTENTS 1 OVERVIEW 2 FOREWORDS 7 INTRODUCTION 9 NEWS, WEATHER & TRAVEL 14 COMMUNITY & SOCIAL ACTION 27 MUSIC 33 NEW MEDIA 40 ECONOMIC VALUE OVERVIEW Despite the proliferation of new media available in the UK today, commercial radio has record audiences – reaching 66% of the population – and its stations are a valuable part of the media ecology. Local commercial stations continue to provide up to the minute news and event information, whilst regional brands now offer a valued mix of music and entertainment for listeners. 334 STATIONS £540M REVENUE PER ANNUM 3000 HOURS OF PUBLIC SERVICE CONTENT BROADCASTING OVER PER WEEK 450M HOURS PER WEEK 35 MILLION 4 MILLION EXTRA LISTENERS LISTENERS IN THE LAST 5 YEARS Last summer, RadioCentre surveyed commercial stations to get a full picture of the output provided across the industry, to understand the important role it still plays in the media, culture and communities of the UK. Alongside this work, Kantar Media were commissioned to conduct a major survey of commercial radio listeners, to gauge what the audience thinks of commercial radio output today; more than 40 years on from when it was first launched in late 1973. Results from these two pieces of research show that commercial radio has evolved to become an incredibly valuable medium for advertisers and millions of listeners. Its content is exceeding audience expectations across the board; with high levels of satisfaction in all the areas that commercial radio is known for – whether it is news and information, music and events or community involvement.
