The state of the Setts on Market Street below the Market Cross

Even more serious, because of their location, are the setts or cobbles on Market Street just below the Cross at the junction with New Market Street.

Having roads so obviously in need of repair reflects badly on the town as a Tourist destination.

As is obvious , the holes are massive and completely beyond the limits the Highways department set themselves for immediate overnight repair. Yet they remain for months at a time so that a frustrated public just cope.

No that's not true some people with disabilities have stopped coping - they stay away from the town centre for fear of being injured.

One can sympathise and feel that if we care the only solution is to repair these setts ourselves.

Something I'm on the verge of tackling myself - and I don't think it would be too difficult to do a reasonable job in four hours to do the whole of the Market Square and make it safe and acceptable.

someone's lost a very cheap watch in the photo's maybe it's fallen off the stalls that sell cheap stuff.
