“We started the night by going on the dodgems as we always do. The mayor then went on the children’s train rollercoaster – which I said was a great photo opportunity.

“Everybody just had a good time. We just want people to know the town council does support the fair as it brings so many people into the town centre.

“We had a good mix of people, local people and people that have moved to the area from places such as Eastern Europe. It all went swimmingly.”
