Answer:
Yes...
At 12.30pm on the day of Baildon Carnival, the streets from the Ian Clough Hall Cark Park are closed from the car park “along Northgate”, up past the Malt Shovel to Mother Hubbards Fish Shop.
Then we close the main road to the right from the fish shop, “Jenny lane”, all the way up to the Cricket & Rugby Clubs.
The Parade sets off almost straight away and takes about 20 to 30 minutes to arrive safely at the Cricket Club.
As soon as possible, the roads are then reopened, to minimise any disruption to people waiting to use the roads.
We apologise for any disruption caused and always aim to make this as minimal as possible.
We try to be as open and understanding about any concerns and any comments are welcome.
Please email the Chairman at matthew@wildman.co.uk and I will raise them with the Carnival Committee.
