Rules and regulations relating to street stalls on Helston Flora Day are to be reconsidered by town councillors following a number of problems at this year's event.

All pitches were taken on May 8 this year, with up to 20 stallholders having to be turned away because there was no room.

At a council meeting last week, Ronnie Williams said it had been an "absolute disaster," largely because traders were ignoring the existing rules.

The morning dancers could have had trouble completing their route, said Mr Williams, and an ambulance trying to get through the town had been held up.

Members agreed to form a sub-committee to look at issues including the size of stalls, putting up and taking down times, and the different types of stall accepted.
