Festival Event in The Meadows
Feedback updated 5 Sep 2019
We asked
The Council engaged with all relevant stakeholders to seek their opinions ahead of the re-procurement of the contract for the Festival Event in The Meadows which came to an end in 2019 after three years on-site.
You said
There were 191 respones in total with over half of respondees agreeing with the proposal to host a ticketed event on The Meadows.
The length of time on-site proved the most contentious question with just under half of respondees opposed to the current 33 day event period.
Nearly three quarters of respondees favoured a donation towards general park improvements as their preferred community benefit option.
We did
We have fully considered all the responses from stakeholders and sought further feedback from elected members.
As there was no overall majority one way or the other regarding the questions that were asked we are proceeding with the current specification as it stands.
The final contract will be awarded following assessment of a competitive tender, in-line with Council procurement policies and procedures.
