Royal Welsh Show members who threatened to boycott this year’s event in protest at plans to relocate their show-week caravan park have been told they will not have to move.
Members feared their holidays would be ruined if they were forced to quit the prime pitches next to the showground at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells.
But show bosses announced today they have abandoned plans to move the members’ caravan park.
The plans followed worries livestock trailers and lorries presented an accident risk at the site, on a steep hillside east of the showground.
Royal Welsh Agricultural Society chief executive David Walters said: “We needed to find somewhere else for livestock vehicles to park to avoid any possible recurrence of the chaotic traffic and parking difficulties caused by the atrocious weather last year, hence why we looked in to the members’ caravan park.”
But now new sites, on and around the showground, have been found for the livestock vehicles.
This year’s show will take place from July 21 to 24.
