'Grinches': Reactions to Lincoln Christmas Market cancelled

Lincoln MP Karl McCartney accused the City Council of “acting like a convention of Grinches or Scrooges” after they agreed to scrap Lincoln Christmas market in its current form on Monday night.

“I don’t think 30 minutes, if that, of discussion before they voted unanimously to scrap a 40-year-old Christmas market is giving due consideration and justice to the decision that they’ve made.” “Yes, there are safety concerns and of course, nobody wants anybody to be put in any harm’s way at all. But that’s all manageable.”The Conservative group on the City Council has already confirmed it will be calling-in the decision “due to the lack of public consultation and the way in which the decision has been made”.

Campaigner Rachel Whitaker, who was sat in the public gallery, said she felt “incredibly frustrated and bemused” by the decision.
