The 2009 Budget Jam went down at the weekend, if you were there, then I’m sure you know how rd it was, if you were not, check out the video here.

The council were unhappy with the amount of money they had to spend on the cleanup and are billing the whole amount to James Ivett who organised the contest. Over £700…

Because James has been professional about it and has taken responsibility, they’ve halved the amount to £373. Obviously James can’t afford to pay this out of his own pocket so is respectfully asking the people who went to help him out.  Here is the email from him…

“On Wednesday I (James) had a meeting with the council where I received a royal admonishment from members of the council and police. They have issued me with a charge of around £700 (I am waiting for the formal letter from the council) for the cleaning up of all the litter and mess (including human faeces, tents and camp fires).

There is no way I can afford to pay this charge after running the event I am already struggling to get through the month. I am just asking people to donate some money to help me out with this charge.
