Safety of the volunteers was at risk with the state of the Big Tomato
An iconic tourism booth in Leamington will not be opening this spring.
The "Big Tomato" that's operated by the town and the Leamington and District Chamber of Commerce was found to be in a "state of disrepair."
The town and chamber discovered the deterioration when staff went to open the booth.
There was a concern for the safety of the volunteers who would staff the booth.
The Tomato Visitor Information Booth will remain closed pending the completion of a condition assessment and the development of an action plan.
