While less busy on weekdays, the market attracted significant crowds at weekends and in the evening
Ms Mowat told a community safety scrutiny committee it was clear more people chose to visit Christmas markets in the UK in 2022 rather than travel abroad. St Nicholas Fair has been held annually in the city since 1992 and in 2022 it featured 70 Alpine chalets in Parliament Street and St Sampson's Square selling artisan gifts and goods, along with food and drink.
"I don't quite recognise the picture that it was just purely overcrowded and nobody could access it, because it was crowded with people who were accessing it and enjoying it," she said.
Christmas is done get over it.
Not new York residents and the council moaning about visitors again? Shock.
After visiting in 2022, we won't be going again, which will reduce the crowds by 2 !!. Nothing like as good and varied as 5/6 years ago, too much of the same goods.
