Hull Fair will not be impacted by Hull City expansion - council

The centuries-old Hull Fair will not be impacted by plans to create a sports village at Hull City's MKM Stadium, the city's council leader has said.

The Hull Daily Mail reported the club's £25m project would see the fair forced from its site on Walton Street.

Responding to the report on BBC Radio Humberside, Councillor Mike Ross said "our commitment to the Walton Street site remains".

The BBC has approached Hull City for comment.

The fair, which has a long tradition in the city dating back to 1293, is held on a 16-acre car park in the first week of October.
