Sunderland Labour Council has confirmed it has cancelled the air show.
Cllr Antony Mullen said:
“One again Sunderland Labour Council has proven it cannot organise a successful events calendar.
“We are offered another excuse for the air show’s cancellation - last year we were told it was COVID despite there being no restrictions and this year it is because the Council does not have its ‘eggs in one basket’
“The Council was not ready to admit its plans to cancel the air show until Conservative councillors forced its hand at a meeting of a Scrutiny Committee.
“There is nothing wrong with moving the air show to a biennial to save money as part of a longer term strategy, but once again we have been presented with ambiguity and uncertainty because the Council is not properly organised.”
The Sunderland Conservatives can see the mass-outrage from local residents, let's see if Labour gets the message and U-turns on this terrible decision to cancel this staple event for our City.
