Public Questions
Jo Lowes attended on behalf of Party in the Pews, to feedback on the event on agenda item 8.1a).
The event was a sellout, all the local hotels were sold out, and many people got to visit the treacle market who had never been before.
Next year is currently being planned. Slow Readers Club are playing and local bands will be involved in the battle of the bands.
Jo requested that funding be used this year for a PA and a stage, which will make Christchurch a more rentable space. Funding will also be used for St. Johns Ambulance, as all events outside will be free, and there will be the introduction of reusable festival cups.
Cllr Livingston commended the festival saying it did indeed bring bigger bands into town, while also giving local bands a bigger stage.
Cllr Puttick also commended the festival, saying it brought people from further afield to visit Macclesfield and discover the town.
Cllr Wilcock added that he had attended, and it was a great event and he looked forward to next years.
