Sidmouth Town Council has announced that the Sidmouth Regatta Airshow will return next year on Friday 25 August.

The Red Arrows have been invited to take part again after the team failed to show up this year, cancelling on the day of the event.

It comes after a survey of local residents, conducted in June, showed that over 90 per cent supported the return of the airshow next year.

A spokesperson for Sidmouth Town Council said: "The council wish to steward Sidmouth towards a more sustainable future and with this in mind, they also decided to investigate possible alternatives for the August bank holiday during the next 18-24 months before further evaluation is carried out which will include another consultation with residents and businesses with specific reference to the airshow, its impact on the town and its impact on the environment.

"Alongside this, the council will attempt to continue to build up the rest of the Sidmouth Regatta weekend working with local groups and organisations."

The local authority said that it would also "examine ways to mitigate the environmental impact of major events throughout the year".
