Petition update, 28 September 2009

More details from petition creator

Dorset police have decided to use existing abnormal loads legislation to force large carnival floats to travel only during daylight hours with a professional escort. As illuminated carnivals take place at night it is essential that floats are able to return to their base after carnivals in the dark, with their own escort. If we are forced to travel only during daylight hours with a paid escort it will seriously increase cost for clubs who will have to find secure after carnival storage, pay tractor hire for two days rather than one each week, and then give up another day to go and collect floats before the next weeks appearance. Since all carnival participants are unpaid and give their time freely for charity we consider this to be unfair. In the last twenty years there has not been an accident in Dorset involving one of these floats travelling after dark
