I would like to expand a little,the Travelling circuses are under the jurisdiction of the Tourist office and have their own remit which doesn't include improving the market .It's a pity they can't be forced to work out a suitable compramise as it seems these travelling markets are holding teh council to ransom

Visit Scunthorpe is North Lincolnshire's only truly independent, non commercial, community news web site.
Established in January 2010 we have lots of members with a wide range of views who all contribute
independently with articles of their own.
You won't find dozens of adverts covering our site, or some poor attempt to promote local business services under the guise of offering a community service.
Here on VisitScunthorpe we are interested in just one thing, building an online community which is representative of the people of Scunthorpe, North Lincolnshire and the surrounding area.
Paul. Founder Visit Scunthorpe.
