Yes, I agree that there is a dilapidation in all of the parks but that is not the problem of the people who organise the events and should not be a barrier to holding events.
It does not cost the public purse anything - this is from the Lottery - if you don't like your money spent on this sort of event then don't buy a ticket. I think we should be getting as much lottery funding as possible into the area for as many different events as possible.
