               A Liverpool City Council representative said: “As a UNESCO City of Music, we are
               fortunate to have a stunning location on our waterfront that provides a spectacular
               natural backdrop to hold events.

               “They bring in much-needed income which we use to finance local cultural
               organisations, and contribute towards the cost of free events such as Africa Oye in
               Sefton Park and River of Light.


               “They also attract new visitors who then come back again and again, helping support
               our visitor economy, upon which hundreds of businesses and tens of thousands of
               jobs are dependent.

               “We strive to maintain safe access to the Pier Head as much as possible during the
               setting up and derigging of an event.”

               On The Waterfront event organisers have been contacted for comment.
