The problem last year was that local tax payers were spitting feathers about Wrexham Council perhaps paying for a Beach at the same time as austerity appeared to be the name of the game.
As Dylan mentioned, there are Entrepreneurs willing to do these sort of things with no cost to the public purse and in 2014 that should usually be the first port of call.
There are several local promoters of all sorts of things that just need a little encouragement and removal of red tape to do their thing. I would be wary of anyone who wants money from the public purse for entertainment and I’m sure that this town could have Beaches, Fairs, Soul Nights and a million other things if private promoters were just encouraged.
