Chester City Council have now admitted that they can not run roughshod over Local Legislation like they did in the Sixties, when they illegally demolished the previous Chester Market Hall. _______________________________________________________________ HAVE YOUR SAY! . . . . . . . IT’S YOUR MARKET EVERYONE now has the opportunity to object to the Chester City Council’s ‘New Market’ plans. Although it is now too late to send in objections to the Secretary of State. You can still complain to Chester MP Christine Russell or Deputy Prime Minister John Prescott.

A SMALLER MARKET - this contravenes the Chester Improvements Act 1845 and the 1929 Corporation act, which states that the new market must be “more spacious and convenient than the old market.” They want to . . . . CLOSE DOWN THE PRESENT MARKET BEFORE THE NEW ONE IS COMPLETED - this contravenes the 1845 Chester Improvement Act and the 1929 Corporation Act. There will be . . . . . NO PROPER LOADING /UNLOADING FACILITIES, NO PARKING FOR TRADERS - and no extra parking for residents and visitors! The Chester City Council are also going to . . . . . CLOSE DOWN THE BUS STATION EARLY NEXT YEAR IN ADVANCE OF THE NORTHGATE DEVELOPMENT - Causing inconvenience for everyone!   The Council will be seeking the Ministers Consent to proceed.
