West Dunbartonshire Council has approved proposals for a funfair at Dumbarton Common later this month – despite objections from residents.
A public entertainment licence for a fair at the Common between Saturday, April 23 and Monday, May 2 was granted last week, after the applicant vowed to work with residents to reduce any issues caused by noise or antisocial behaviour.
The application received three objections from locals, who highlighted concerns after previous events led to fighting in the streets, attendees urinating in gardens and left areas of the Common churned up and muddy.
