Can't find a reference to Winter Festivals (probably taken off by now; shame you don't accept eye-witness accounts from people who were there as valid evidence, but never mind). Have this one to be going on with.
Found the website from 10 / 12 years ago have you? Never mind, I feel sure you'll manage to avoid seeing something that you don't want to see. Are you a politician?
Sorry - you are the fool. I was actually working for the council when this was going on. Needless to say, there was much muttering amongst the work force. So please stick to what you know before going round name-calling.
Winter Festivals (or Wintervals) have been brought in by County Councils, one of the hotbeds of OTT PC. Same as attempts have been made to re-name blackboards and accident black spots (I'm not sure what they came u[p with for the last two, but I don't think it stuck).
