Town events to merge to keep them going (From Bucks Free Press)

These councillors love splashing the cash don't they.

"they had positive feedback not enough people came through the gates"
Sounds to me that people don't want a music festivel then. So why flog a dead horse. Same goes for the Risborough Festival, no money = no festival
Simples!

Save the money and spend it on putting the one way system back the way it was.

What a mean-spirited pair of individuals you are. I surely hope that nobody takes your particular views into account.
Awful.

RizFest cost £8,500 and has £3,000 left in the bank, town festival cost £13,500 and has £6,000 left. I make that they have £9,000 left in bank, yet they then say RizFest doesn't have any money nor does the festival to stage next year. Well I'm sorry but if you don't have the money, you don't have. Just like the rest of us.
If the FizFest and town festival can't cover their cost without grants from us tax payers then cancel the event. Many other festivals that can't cover their cost have cancelled.
Why should people worry about how to save money on food and heating while our town council is giving grants to organizations that just want to arrange parties.

The people that organize the Kop Hill weekend in September managed to cover their cost and give money to charity.
I know which event I would prefer.

This is madness. Clearly the people of Risborough DO NOT WANT a music festival. All it is are a few local amateur acts playing infront of their mates. Likewise, if the town doesn't want a festival- bin that too. The problem is these councillors committee members have too much time on their hands. Most of them are retired and get involved in all of this just to get them out of the house. They push on with these money losing
schemes to boost their own egos. If it was their money they were spending they wouldn't touch these pitiful events

You are a nasty old hag fair say. Get off your fat backside and do something, funny how you support the event that your husband gets involved in....

Mrskissenger
you don't even know me so how can you make comments about me. One I am not old. The point I was making was as a council tax payer.
The town council don't have to give a grant for the Kop Hill event, but the council keep giving grants to the organizer of RizFest and the town festival.
Just to let you know I didn't go to the Kop Hill nor did any of my family.
But I know people who have not even put there heating on yet to save money but still have to pay their council tax to be wasted by the town council,
I've turned my heating down.
so again why should we pay our council tax just so the council can waste our money on grants just so people can party.
If RizFest and the town festival can't cover their cost without grants from the town council tax payers they should cancel till they can.
