AT this time all our thoughts should be concentrating on a new market, with the council yet again involved with a new partner.

It has been mentioned that in the new market there will be additional stalls for the use of traders. Why more stalls in the new market when the empty stalls in the old market are too numerous to count?

What can we expect from a set of councillors who dispense with traffic and yet expect the town to flourish, even going to the trouble of creating a centre spot car park with 20 positions only.
