Controversy - Bitter Battle between Robin Wales and traders at Queen's Market.

Sir Robin Wales has been involved in a bitter battle with the Friends of Queens Market, which represents the market traders at Queen's Market lively and busling market. The traders and residents are objecting to plans to demolish the market and replace with 31 storey appartment block with shops.

(initially ASDA wanted to buy the site, but local people did not want this and significant anti-publicity. ASDA pulled out. And not Robin Wales/St Modwents want to demolish the market and build 31 storey.

Can someone find references etc.... —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.25.35 (talk) 22:53, 18 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Too Much Power

The Mayor is one of 13 elected Mayors.

Many Councillors (even many of his own Labour) accuse the Mayor of running the Borough like a dictator. Some Councillors lost seats of his own Party, as they had to toe Party line.

He has the right to veto any proposals....

This too POV.... but useful background for people.
