So, thank you Mr Brown. But if you still have an income now is the vwery best time to trade up houses, when the differential is massively reduced. The lucky ones should go for it (always supposing they can sell their own house first. Bardwell

At least the good news seems to be that at last the council is/may be doing something to support the farmers market. But what happenened to the regeneration project which seemed to have all this in hand - but in a different way? Bardwell
