A statement said:"After lengthy consultations with our strategic partners and our Advisory Council, the Board has taken the decision that this year's Carnival will not take place on the streets of Notting Hill as it has done for over 50 years."This will also mean that Panorama, the annual steelband competition, will not take place."
