Westbury’s White Horse Children’s Carnival has been called off, due to a shortage of volunteers for the carnival committee.

The committee had initially planned to stage a Children’s Carnival in Westbury on September 7.

However, with only three members available for the planning, the decision was taken to cancel the event.

The chairman of the committee, Stephen Miles, said: “There is not much to say really. We had to cancel the event due to a lack of volunteers.

“While it is unfortunate, there was no other option.”
