Duck race cancelled over red tape

The BBC reports that a duck race has been cancelled due to red tape.

New saftey concerns have meant that the local council requested a road closure before the Duck Race could take place, yet they were not prepared to fund it, and the organisers cannot afford to pay the £3000 required as it would impact too much on the money they plan to raise for charity.
