I went to see Marlene Haworth yesterday with Cllr Clare Pritchard and in fairness to her she heard us out. I asked her to be specific about terms of a review of 6 day trading and she conceded to put it in a letter to the traders. I would far rather work with a Conservative counterpart in ironing out the faults than watch the whole project descend into collapse.
The problem as far as I can see is that whoever is responsible for putting the work into the Market Hall, Peter Britcliffe is seen by the traders as the figurehead for the enforced changes, despite the fact that it was emphatically stated yesterday that he has had virtually nothing to do with it. Perhaps the brass plaque might have had something to do with that, Peter?
No one wants to see the Market Hall fail but I don't think anyone would push for 7 day trading at this point. Even the most egotistical of council leaders would see that as suicide, surely?
