"With the darker evenings and renewed concern about Covid, some of the organisers felt it best not to go ahead.

"The Dementia Friendly Community is one of the Chairman's Charities for this year and as Chairman of Alsager Town Council I will look for other ways to raise funds for this very important initiative in the life of our community."
