Sadness, sympathy and disappointment has greeted the shock announcement that a top Shropshire event has been cancelled.
There's sadness and disappointment among businesses and civic leaders after the Clun Green Man Festival committee announced that this year's event is not going ahead.
The festival site is so wet after a deluge this winter that the organisers believe the festival site would not recover in time.Announcing the news on their website, a post read:"It is with regard to the safety of our performers, our traders, our audience, and not to mention the ongoing health of the field itself, that we the festival committee have agree its would be irresponsible to process with this year's festival.
Locals agree that they can't recall it ever having rained so much. Town councillor Mark Duffee said that flooding is a constant issue in the town and often discussed in committee. "It is very wet and waterlogged on the castle grounds so it is probably a common sense decision by them not to go ahead. But for them it is a bit of a bitter blow," he said.
