WASN?T it encouraging to see Bedford Square thronged with people, including many visitors last Saturday morning (April 30), chatting, viewing the stalls and listening to the enjoyable, suited-to-all-tastes music of the Stannary Brass Band (which included very many young people among its excellent players)? It felt like a continental piazza, which of course must be a rarity in our climate! Do you recall how many local people were apprehensive about the square becoming paved? We don?t just mean those who regretted the loss of a free parking space or those politically motivated to attack the controlling party at the county. Many genuinely believed the square would be a dull place without the buzz of traffic. Perhaps their fears are now assuaged. Long may the square attract activity from local groups and marketeers and can we have music regularly there? Noel and Peggy Thompson Brentor Road, Mary Tavy
