I HAVE just read a small article in the Daily Mail concerning the cancellation of the May Day fete in Devizes and feel the need to write.
It states that the organisers have been forced to cancel this annual charity event as they have not got enough precautions in place in the event of a terrorist attack.
What on earth is going on here? We all worry about this situation arising but surely to goodness this is only letting these b......... win.
I know from friends how much hard work and dedication goes into this event and how much money is raised for charity.
I’m quite sure that as the HQ of Wiltshire Police, there are sufficient precautions taken in Devizes to protect its citizens.
So shame on you Wiltshire Council. Let’s not be so over the top and let our wonderful rural communities carry on doing what they do best for their people and let them enjoy a wonderful day out.
