That's resident, singular wasn't it and even then I'm not sure it wasn't a wind up.

Do you think he is the only local person who regrets the fair every year?

No, there are a few more miseries around but the Mayor always enjoys it.

I'm just going on the headlines on local radio and paper, the fact that the council even considered moving the funfair is laughable. The fair is very popular with young people and families, and providing the funfair are not breaking the already strict conditions imposed, I don't see what the problem is.

The problem was invented....I suspect Cllr Vickers was lobbying for something to be done. He's got form against the fair. I hope I'm wrong and he's not perverting his utilitarian principles.

No matter what the price of the rides, the funfairs will continue until the public stop going.

For some people, the funfair is something they look forward to all year. Might sound a bit sad, but it's true. Yes it's noisy, expensive and full of young people, but if that is not your scene, don't go!!!

Save the fair!!!

We could have the first Unfair. It's like a funfair, but run by Mr Wyper.
