Brighton and Hove City Council pulled permission with the fear that public safety could not be assured.
Brighton and Hove City Council have withdrawn permission for the Brighton Carnival with only days to go under fears that public safety could not be assured.
The carnival was set to go ahead this weekend, however the council decided that despite efforts the papers submitted were 'not of the standard required to ensure public safety'.
Councillor Alan Robins explained the decision:
“Unfortunately, after working with Brighton Carnival, public safety could not be assured. We know that people will be disappointed, but public safety has to be paramount for the council when approving plans for all events to be held on council land.”
Brighton and Hove City Council hope to welcome the event next year with the correct safety measures in place.
