The PM did not mince words today when he mentioned Lincoln Christmas Market
Council leader says PM is"ill-informed"Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said he is "disappointed" by the decision to cancel Lincoln Christmas Market.
"The dereliction of their role duty to take the easiest option behind closed doors in secret and cancelling the market shows Labour's neglect and disregard for small local businesses, charities and entrepreneurs," he said.The long-running festival was axed by City of Lincoln Council in February over concerns about overcrowding and its escalating cost.
The move came under fire from local businesses, residents and opposition councillors due mainly to a lack of consultation ahead of the decision.Responding to Mr McCartney, Prime Minister Rishi Sunak said: "I share my right honourable friend's disappointment that after a decision taken by the Labour run council behind, as he said, closed doors, there will no longer be a Christmas Market in Lincoln, ending its 40 years of history.
