    The event, which requires £4,000 to host, was postponed after just five people showed up to a public meeting aimed at recruiting volunteers.

    Secretary Sarah has said there is a role for everyone to play in organising the event, from fundraising to preparing lorries for the parade.

    Linda Williams, a volunteer for over 50 years, said it was "heart breaking" that the carnival had to be postponed due to a lack of volunteers.

    The committee has invited anyone interested in helping to attend monthly meetings at The Monty Club or email newtowncarnival@hotmail.co.uk to find out how you and your family / friends can get involved.
