Cut W12 (Grounds Maintenance, Horticulture, Parks and Countryside Management) 1.Under the heading Town Centre you only mention Christmas lights,the water feature and floral displays there is no mention of the covered market prosed closure which for me is the most important. 2.the only mention is in the question and answer.The question should have been you,re closing the indoor market in a market town,obviously you wont close the outdoor market as it does not cost you anything.In short in my opinion the question and answer was too vague you sholud have been more precise. It does seem to me that the council are only interested in new builds and not preserving our historic heritage. Any comments would be appreciated. |
Cut Mc10 (Christmas lights) Economic Growth, Retail Growth is essential. Has the potential cost of not having the lights been considered in more lost footfall and traders struggling. |
FF 52h (Festivals and Events) Q: Why do you have an events team when you don’t have any events – the fireworks have gone, the lights are going but the events people are still on the same pay? A: There is a thing called BID and all businesses in the town centre pay a levy and the council pays the largest levy and what we have said is this year we will keep the lights but we are looking at getting the BID and some of the big retailers, Binns, M&S, to chip in to see if we can keep the lights going for 2017. We don’t claim to be perfect but we do care and we do try. That’s why we have elections and anyone can stand. |
