WHITTLESEY’S Straw Bear Festival came close to being called off on Saturday when Fenland District Council forgot to instruct contractors over road closures.
“We hold our hands up, this was a genuine oversight on our part and we can only apologise both to the festival organisers and the public,” a council spokesman said today.
Thousands of people had already turned out for the unique event but the barriers and road signs were no where to be seen.
