February 27, 2010 1:40 PM
Jonathan Chatfield the Liberal Democrat general election candidate for South East Cambridgeshire welcomes East Cambridgeshire district council's change of mind over Ely Market at its full council meeting last night (23 February 2010), with its decision to consult traders, residents and shoppers over its intention to stop providing stalls for the Saturday market.
Jonathan who had called on the Local Government minister to intervene to force the Conservative run council to consult on its plans said:
"I am delighted that Conservative councillors saw sense and backed Lib Dem councillors in calling for a halt to the proposal to allow consultation to take place.
"I pay tribute to the traders and the nearly 6,000 people who signed the petition against the council's plan.
"I and my Lib Dem councillor colleagues will be keeping a close eye on this to ensure the consultation is adequate, extensive and fair."
