They've been doing it for at least 30 years the same way, you get warnings, you know when it's going to happen and it lasts for a couple of hours at most. If you want to object then present your issues to a Marple Area Committee meeting. Maybe councillors will be sympathetic.

Post by: andrewbowden on June 29, 2018, 11:27:44 PM: I live in the route myself. There was a slight clash of schedules caused due to the carnival coinciding with a birthday party my son was attending. And that meant some prep for the drive home. It was fine. No Biggie.

It's once a year. It's not that major. It's a great thing for the town. Yeah it probably annoyed some motorists. But you know what, the minute we let cars rule our towns is the point we have all lost. Roads are for everyone! Cars. Cyclists. Horses. Carnivals.
