I WAS delighted to read Councillor Carr’s letter last week telling me Cllr Hooke had his facts wrong regarding the purchase of the old magistrates court in Andover.

Like Cllr Hooke I feel the bottom of the Town Hall should never have been leased out. It would have been ideal to house the Citizens’ Advice Bureau, Neighbourcare, etc and accessible to all, situated in the town centre.

Will Cllr Carr now issue a statement categorically stating that Test Valley Borough Council will not be buying the old courts, that it will not be setting aside a vast amount of our money for refurbishment, and that the CAB will not be relocated there, recognising the fact it was only moved to London Street earlier this year at a cost of ££80,000?

Waste, waste and more waste Cllr Carr!
