Sirs
I have been asked as Chairman of Hay & District Chamber of Commerce to follow up on the suggestion made by CRAP that the Hay Cattle Market car park be turned into a mixed residents' and pay and display car park when not in use as by the market. It's a largely unused space and it would be ideal to use this space on days when there is no Cattle Market. Parking in Hay is a problem for residents and visitors so any extra space would be very welcome.
It would of course create a useful income for Powys County Council.
Dual use of space is not new to Hay-on-Wye as the Hay Thursday Market uses the Market Square car park one day a week with out any problem.
I understand that the lease on the Cattle Market is due to be renewed shortly and it would appear that no discussion has yet taken place with the organisers of CRAP regarding this suggestion. It would be a wonderful opportunity if this could be incorporated into a new lease especially as parking in Hay-on-Wye is at a premium.
I would be grateful to hear any comments you may have on this important issue and hope that the suggestion by CRAP can be given due consideration.
Yours Faithfully,John EvansChairman
