I REFER to the proposed changes to the Market Hall, the application for which is shortly to be considered by the planning committee.

Although approval has been recommended by officers on planning grounds, I trust that the mass of opposition by shoppers will be taken on board by the decision makers.

It has been my long held opinion that officers should draw up a comprehensive and unbiased report without any recommendation to the relevant committee, leaving the outcome to be decided by reasoned debate.
