Safety officers have closed Britain’s last “moving staircase” fairground attraction, even though the ride has operated in complete safety for the past 72 years. The owner of the former Butlin’s camp at Felixstowe says he believes the cakewalk, which has been running since 1933, is the last one left in Britain. Inspectors from the Health and Safety Executive have ruled that it must be closed because it no longer meets modern safety standards. Suffolk Evening Star 25/3/05.
