Cheshire East Council chiefs have defended their decision to charge organisers of the Nantwich Food Festival for the use of their car parks.
In previous years, the festival was able to use car parks such as Love Lane and Bowling Green for free to stage their food hall marquees.
Nantwich Food Festival is to fund the use of town centre car parks to house the food courts for this year’s event, organisers have confirmed.
The use of the Love Lane and Bowling Green car parks is an essential feature of the three-day festival, as they host the marquees and performance areas.
