‘Blinkered’ councillors should back town market

I WISH to register my dismay at the opposition to the proposed Clonakilty market by members of the town council. The market is welcomed by the vast majority of Clonakilty residents and traders alike.

The so-called concerns of those councillors opposing the market seem spurious and obfuscating.

For instance, the laughable suggestion has been made that the town market would threaten “the capacity of the council to pay for essential projects such as footpath upgrades, playgrounds and housing”.
