SIR,
Your front page headline last week 'Anger over council delay with market' truly describes the feelings of many Monmouth residents.
Monmouthshire County Council seems to have found a sure way of making the worst of all possible worlds; car parking spaces are taken up, reducing the number of shoppers and visitors in our town, our splendidly-refurbished Shire Hall is left in isolation almost unused, the BBC will not plan to film Victorian market scenes in the car park and market traders themselves feel they are facing diminishing returns in a dying market.
The law apparently dictates that the market should be held on the cobbles. What is there to delay or prevent this from happening?
