It's been a while since the last update, and I thank you all for your continued support for this cause so important to our local economy and culture. Much hasn't changed on the face of the petition however work has been going on in the background, as I have now had the exciting opportunity to speak to both Bournemouth MPs about this issue for us, and both have been vocal in their support for the views of us constituents. Furthermore I am in the process of drafting a letter regarding clear reasoning behind their turning down of multiple alternative paths for the festival to continue, as well as requesting a more public search for a way to continue to run this major tourism event yearly.

Hopefully the next few weeks and months will show that change can happen, once again I thank you all for your support in this,

Pawel Newby
