HAVE our councillors taken complete leave of their senses?

I could not believe that they are considering developing underneath the “old market hall”. The Market Place doesn’t even deserve naming!

When more than 80,000 people signed their names on that petition opposing the refurbishment of the Market Hall, they didn’t do it for fun. They signed it because they forecast it would be a white elephant That is exactly what it is.

What sense is there in wasting the money of residents on yet another white elephant when half the shops in the Market Place are closed.

Perhaps they might consider that we are all ruining our cars while riding on the appalling state of our roads, and the pavements are also in a disgusting state.

How on earth can they justify wasting more millions on something so unnecessary while making so many other cuts to more vital services.
