I WAS interested to read about your Keep it Local campaign. I live just outside Ely, but work in Huntingdon and have recently been buying small bags of building sand at �1.43 per bag from one of the large DIY stores there, on my way home from work.

Last week I was at home and I needed two more bags so popped into a builder's merchant in Ely where I was charged �3.28 per bag. It would have been cheaper to drive to Huntingdon or Cambridge, which I will do in future.
