LETTER: District council should dissolve after damage of Holbeach market move

The last nail in the Holbeach coffin was the moving of the market from High Street to Boston Road South car park.

This was done by South Holland District Council without consultation or reference to Holbeach Parish Council of which I was a member. I found this outrageous decision unbelievable and also baffling especially as Holbeach appeared to accept the decision without protest. How could an elected parish council be completely ignored, trampled into the ground, the town destroyed, by such a disastrous decision with no redress whatever?

Footfall was already low but is now virtually non-existent and very few shops have the stamina or resources to continue trading in such negative conditions.
It must be hoped the district council is dissolved as soon as possible before they inflict further damage on those they are supposed to represent.
