Ely Masterplan Should Protect The Area's Current Attractions
I UNDERSTAND that ECDC s proposed budget cuts include no longer providing and erecting market stalls for those who want them from April.I also understand that traders have not been consulted and that a number of them would be forced to give up coming to Ely markets, while others could only continue with a reduction in their rent.Ely s three markets are some of the city s key attractions for locals and visitors alike, enticing people to spend their money not only at the markets but also at local shops and eateries.Jeoparizing this would seem incredibly short-sighted. What is the use of a Masterplan for future attractions, if current ones are not preserved?SALLY MACEACHERN
