THE new organisers of Lymm's Dickensian Festival will discuss this year's plans at September's parish council meeting.

The festival will be organised by members of Lymm Rotary Club and Lymm Round Table for the first time after previous organiser, Peter Critchley, stepped down from his years of hard service.

The popular event, which started in Lymm in the early 1980s, has grown massively in recent years.

This year's event is scheduled for December 9.
