Weymouth Town Council has announced it will reconsider a decision to cancel funfair bookings for this year.

The debate over proposed funfair bookings came to a halt last week when the council's services committee voted against funfairs being held in the town’s Pavilion forecourt except for the previously-agreed Easter holiday fair.

The decision also will not affect 20 days of bookings recently agreed for another site on the promenade.

Councillors voted against the fair after attempts at a compromise including alternative sites in the town failed.

However, the decision by the services committee has been 'called in' for further debate and could see a U-turn when it goes before a full council meeting on March 8.

Cllr Luke Wakeling said: ‘I was very disappointed that committee members failed to discuss any benefits of the fair, or any compromises which could reduce some of the concerns raised.

‘I'm grateful to the other councillors who have backed the call-in, and look forward to a better debate of the matter on 8 March.’
