Paul stands up for CMK Market

Paul, this week, asked the Leader of Milton Keynes Council to work with market traders to ensure a strong vibrant market survives in Central Milton Keynes.

This took place at a meeting of Milton Keynes Council, where market traders served a deputation expressing their own fears about the future of CMK Market, if the proposed Primark development were to go ahead.

Milton Keynes Council will decide whether to approve the planning application at a meeting of the Development Control Committee later this year.

Paul said, "I am pleased the Leader of Milton Keynes Council has agreed to work with market traders to ensure a strong vibrant market remains in Central Milton Keynes". 

Having listened to the views of local residents, I will be opposing the CMK Primark application at the Development Control Committee". 

While I welcome the creation of new jobs in Milton Keynes, I do not believe this should be achieved at the expense of market traders. There are other locations in CMK where this could be built without putting livelihoods at risk".
