Big Weekend – Big Problem

by davidcox on 18 April, 2016

I welcome Radio 1’s Big Weekend pop concert coming to Powderham Castle next month; however I believe it is fundamentally wrong to use £100,000 of Council Tax payers’ money to help fund this event.
That error of judgement is now compounded by local councillors being offered two tickets each for the event! It staggering that this should happen, and a massive insult to the young people who couldn’t get tickets. Councillors have no right to be treated as a special case and “jump the queue”. If a councillor wants tickets, then they should have attempted to obtain them in the same way as any one else.
I will be giving mine to local residents. I have however already been approached by several people keen to use them, unfortunatly I can’t possibly please all of them. Indeed only two, so I hope those who don’t get a ticket will understand.
