THE land for the car park in Wentworth Street, Malton, was given to Malton by a well-wisher and not for the council to grab and make money out of it.

I have no doubt that it is for their own benefit that they are pushing this plan through.

The Secretary of State just wants to cut his workload and shrug it off.

I am sure that not one person would say, “If only we had another supermarket in Malton”.

No one wants it. Why do they not listen to the actual people who love Malton – as it is now.
