Shambles ownership
WITH reference to the letter from Mr Robbie Hayter last week, regarding The Shambles in Devizes.
The Shambles are owned and administrated by Wiltshire Council.
Even though The Shambles are in Devizes Market Place, Devizes Town Council does not own them, neither does it administrate them.
It is understandable that Mr Hayter would believe that such an important building should be in the ownership of the town council, and we hope that one day this will become a reality.
What I can assure Mr Hayter is that Devizes Town Council does care passionately about our town and the success of the iconic building.
COUN JANE M BURTON, Mayor of Devizes
