Christian seeks 'alternative ways of boosting economy'

The event was cancelled this year and government announced earlier this month the 2021 races have also been called off.
Council Leader David Christian says that decision didn't come as a surprise.
He told Local Democracy Reporter Chris Cave the focus should now be on finding alternative ways of boosting the economy:
