A spokesperson for Biddulph Town Council said today (Monday): "We had been hopeful that the Classic Vehicle event could take place this year. We had such a good time last year!

"On the advice of our partners and in support of our neighbours, we have decided to postpone the Classic Vehicle event, which had been planned for this coming weekend (12 September).

"We're really disappointed, but determined to bring this to the High Street again soon. It's more important that everyone stays well and safe."

The postponement has been called "a shame" by local residents, with one saying: "That's a shame. I was looking forward watching that."

Another added: "That's a shame, it was ace last year."

A new date for the show has not yet been announced.
