A newly-elected mayor who threatened to cut funding to a South Yorkshire town’s Gay Pride festival has said the money will now go to the event.
Peter Davies, of the English Democrats, previously argued that public money should not be spent on the annual event in Doncaster.
But he has now said the council will honour the £3,000 commitment it made to the event before he was elected.
The decision was welcomed by the Doncaster Gay Pride Committee.
In a statement issued through Doncaster Council, Mr Davies said: “The Gay Pride event has been planned for some time and the funding already committed.
“In the circumstances, I believe I should honour this commitment and the event will go ahead.
