A popular festive market visited by people across Gedling borough is to be replaced after 40 years.
Many visit Lincoln Christmas Market each year, taking the train from Carlton Station, but The Lincolnite is reporting that the event will now be replaced by all-year round events.
Latest figures reveal that the 2022 event drew record crowds of 320,000 across four days.
But there were many complaints about overcrowding in Lincoln Castle and delays and disruption across uphill parts of the city.
Proposals to scrap the Christmas market will be discussed at the council’s Executive meeting on Monday, February 20.
City of Lincoln Council leader Ric Metcalfe told The Lincolnite: “In spreading events through the year, we would be able to give businesses the opportunity to have ongoing financial boosts through increase footfall across the year.
“These will be smaller events, so will have less impact on city residents in terms of road closures and disruption.
Spoiling everyone’s fun yet again!
Why not do a fair poll? Bet you lose.
That’s a real shame…
Yes I want the Christmas market to stay as it was my first time and I enjoyed it
The reason their was overcrowding was everyone went Thursday due to cancellation of trains the other days so everyone went on Thursday as I did my self the trains were rammed taking no more passengers
