Market plans

Sir, - I refer to your story regarding the consultant's report on how the Richmond markets could be improved in the face of national market declines (D&S, May 2).

Consultant Tracey Simpson's reference to the Market Hall is exactly what retired councillors will recall was the scheme I suggested, and costed out, some 20 years ago.

Then there were to be shops down each side of the market hall, with the centre left for market stalls.

It was turned down with one of the reasons being that sales were held every so often, plus an occasional visit by Damart.

The charity events on a Sunday could switch to the town hall, with the market stalls resited for the remainder of the exhibitors.

J K HENDREN Greendale Court, Bedale.
