The Dunston Harriers will no longer be allowed to meet at Wymondham market cross on Boxing Day.
A Boxing Day trail hunt meet has been banned in a town, with its mayor alleging it has "strong links to terrorising wildlife under the guise of tradition".
Wymondham Town Council took the decision against the "outdated practice", despite objections from local businesses. The Dunston Harriers are a trail hunting group – an activity that mimics traditional fox hunting with dogs but instead follows an artificial scent along a predetermined route. Lucy Nixon, a member of the town council, said: "Some people believe that hunting with hounds is a rural tradition but I do not believe that this is a good enough justification.
