A few weeks ago Durham County Council announced help for town centre markets. They listed those to be helped, but omitted Newton Aycliffe presumably because our market is on private land.
Not happy with this Newton News contacted Neil Foster, the Cabinet member responsible, stating our right to be included in any promotion which used public money.
He agreed we would get our share, so it was with some disappointment we saw a centrespread in the current “County News” magazine promoting markets but again omitting Newton Aycliffe.
We have pointed this out to Councillor Foster and await his reply.
