‘Saxon’ Axminster can ‘no longer be called a market town’
Disastrous planning needs to be undone, says councillor.
We can no longer call Axminster a market town.
We must look to the future, enhancing it but not allowing it to lose its friendly nature.
Ours is a Saxon town and in no way do we want it to look like towns around us.
The town set up a group of people under Axminster Community Enterprise (ACE) which, after much consultation, recommended a progressive revitalisation of the town without going over the top.
You may also want to watch:
It is important that we get the infrastructure, such as schools, health, road and rail interconnecting with the possibilities of an in-town bus service.
We must work towards undoing some of the more disastrous planning so as not to trap people in estates in bad weather.
