Letter From Sally Gillian Watson

Dear Sir

Regarding Sarah Bumphrey’s article [A High St for the 21st Century; August edition], a golden opportunity for beautifying the High Street was missed by the Steering Committee For The Millenium, of which both my husband (as mayor-elect) and I were members. We proposed a Market Cross towards the St Peter’s end of the High Street, which might have housed the Tourist Information Office and perhaps also a Citizens’ Advice Bureau.

Unfortunately the plans were abandoned on what in my opinion were spurious financial grounds. We had expected a Millenium Fund grant which, when added to local fund-raising, would have raised more than enough.

Yours faithfully

Sally Gillian Watson
