The Police Gold Commander, Dan St Quentin, was in attendance and gave a presentation about Fair Hill from a policing perspective.
A number of the 10 residents who attended the meeting were of the mis-understanding that the Council had called the meeting because they wanted to change the arrangements. The Council has no plans to change the arrangements for Fair Hill. The meeting was called following receipt of an email to Appleby Town Council from 74 residents via the Appleby Communities Fair Group Facebook page. The emails received stated they did not want Fair Hill (or any other parish land) to be used for the purpose of Appleby Fair and that Appleby Town Council should distance themselves from Horse Fair, with a request that a Parish Meeting be called to discuss these issues.
