Hi Phil and others, thanks for this. I was in touch with Linda and others as soon as I heard about this, as were others. I know that Paul wanted a response sooner but I wanted to find out more about what had happened. The contract can't be torn up and so our job is to find funds for events like the Festival and the others that happen accross the borough and a policy (horrid word) that identifies the criteria for spending this money (which, of course, is our residents. money). I'm asking for written assurances that will happen and when I get them I'll happily share them. I know that money was identified in mid Jan to cover some of the direct costs of the Festival and I suppose that should still be available. This is completely unofficial but whilst the 'proper' Brentford Festival isn't going to happen, if anyone came up with a proposal for something on the mass picnic day (or another day) then I'll try and sort something.
