Town councillors have criticised a council for charging for free public events to be held at a new amphitheatre.
Run by Somerset Council, the Triangle in Yeovil opened in January, but has played host to only a limited number of events, with the site's fountain and giant TV screen currently out of operation.
Yeovil town councillors Adrian Wilkes and Tareth Casey have criticised Somerset Council for attempting to charge £64.59 for holding a town crier event, arguing it "completely undermines the very reason the Triangle was built".
Somerset Council said it charges a flat rate to all free public events in the town centre and a separate quote was provided for the town crier event.
