THERE must have been a sigh of relief from many local people when it was announced in your columns recently that a Sunday car boot sale had been cancelled.
Herefordshire Council had not been courteous enough to inform Ledbury Town Council of the application for such an event.
Now the time has come for an appeal direct to the town council for the cancellation of Ledbury Carnival next year.
Did any councillor see the utter filth and mess left in the Walled Garden, or young men urinating in broad daylight in the adjacent lane leading to the churchyard?
If the people of Ledbury want a carnival to desecrate its few pleasant spots, let them hire a football ground and pay a substantial entrance fee to clear up the filth left behind.
I challenge council members to exercise some discipline. The police have abdicated.
