What the petition asks

Help us keep the only fair we have that comes to our town..we are a seaside resort and hotel owners moan.. the fair shuts at 10 and when they leave they leave no mess.. They bring money to the town and something for kids to do of a evening.. we have nothing otherwise to keep youngsters occupied
Help us keep the fair or help us find somewhere down here to relocate it because none of the locals want it gone it wasn't put to the town for a vote abokt 10 people wanted this on weymouth Council but we as a town we want the fair
