I was disappointed and disgusted by the cancellation of Southend’s Concert in the Park because of the Olympics and the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee celebrations.
What a petty excuse this was.
There are many people who will not be able to attend any of the celebrations in London for either the Jubilee or the Olympics.
This concert would have been my way of taking part in something enjoyable.
Using a mobility scooter makes getting into London impossible.
But after the weak excuses made for the concert’s cancellation, it would be nice to know the truth of why this decision was made, leaving so many people let down and disappointed.
