Most likely because there's this word 'fun' in it.
Part of the attraction of funfairs is their element of licence and risk, anonymity and spontaneity. Authorities quiver at this and increasingly want to 'provide' you with an 'experience' they can shape and control.
Plus Dover's demographic. Deal's middle-class can be trusted to be 'responsible' whereas Dover's working-class just cannot restrain themselves and need their energies channelled into daisy-picking.
