We’ve been talking to local shops and businesses – key concerns are about the impact on shops of moving the market – both on shops and cafes near the current market (on Valley Road) and close to Lees Yard (off St George’s Square in the middle of the town). If it’s moved, it could create traffic congestion problems especially at the end of the day. Generally pleased if moving the market would make the current site available for parking all day/every day.
So, at last week’s Working group, we went and had a look with a Council Officer who’s going to do a first draft of a plan/design for moving it. Shops etc were asking what it would look like and we’re expecting to know more about this at the next meeting in early October. Could this be some progress at last ?
