Anger at closure of UK's oldest rollercoaster

People in Margate have been expressing their anger at the permanent closure of Britain's oldest rollercoaster.

The culture secretary is being urged to intervene.

Dreamland Margate announced on Tuesday the Grade II* listed wooden ride was no longer viable saying it wanted to "reimagine the rollercoaster's purpose" and was asking the public for ideas.

The Department for Culture, Media and Sport has been approached for a response.
