Maybe the question should be what events should be chargeable?
If HBC's venues are going to be hired out rent free who is going to pay the staff, cleaners etc? I suppose if we are all agreeable to the cost going on our Council Tax maybe these venues could be made available for free.

If in a good cause that can be justified ie the Cildren in Need Concert then no charge. If the same was applied to all walks of life in choosing what to pay and not to pay the in an extreme case pensioners and the disabled could loose the transport passes that they get. Common sense is needed and a bit more light on the subject from them upon high.
