    Council Tax well spent ?

    The four-day Summer Festival at Langdon Park cost Tower Hamlets Council £237,000 to put on. It cost £535 per person jabbed.

    Good intentions perhaps but branding it as a 'summer vaccine festival' doesn't sound like the kind of thing that would attract young people. It also rained heavily at points during the festival and by sounds of it, many attendees dropped in whilst passing by rather than actively planned to attend.

    You would have thought for almost £250k they could have had some more attractive artists and got a much bigger audience, never mind the whole vaccine thing.
