Birchwood Carnival - Not on WBC approved list

The sad inevitability of the announcement by Warrington Borough Council that Birchwood Carnival is not to be supported in 2007 does not surprise me. Apparently the Carnival Committee did not even apply for support, which is fair enough considering that the Ranger service has been decimated by the previous Labour Council, and previous Carnivals have relied heavily on Ranger support, both in planning and physical help on the day.

The lack of reaction from Birchwood Town council is deafening... Yet again.

Birchwood is in danger of having no community events at all in the future. I would expect the local Councillors to be speaking up for their electorate.
