Last year's Toy Run was an amazing spectacle. but it appears that the local authorities have finally won their attempt to regulate and ultimately prevent this popular charitable event from occurring. The actions of the police and Salford City Council seem to show little respect or understanding of local identity and culture. The overall costs of £6000 seems a paltry some compared to £24,000 temporary pink ice-rink outside the Council offices in Swinton. I guess the real victims here are the children who face spending Christmas in hopital and the managers of children's hospices in the region. Merry Christmas!
