Your councillors working with many others did all they could, first to prevent the imposition of the Seamer Horse Fair travellers on Eastfield and then to control the use of Musham Bank Field.
We objected strongly to the cavalier action of Seamer Council and still more to the invitation of Mr. Simpson when he OFFERED the field to the travellers.
But the rain made the field so unusable as we predicted that most stayed away until the final day.
The closure of Musham Bank road was seen as the best way out and it proved to be so.
By evening the field was cleared thanks to the cooperation of the travellers representatives who removed all the rubbish.
The police reported that there were no reported incidents. Councillors did receive reports of some horses loose on the road but they were soon removed.
We will soon meet with council officials and others to make sure that Seamer Fair stays in Seamer next year.
