I read with alarm the report on the plans to redesign the town centre and demolish Crosfield Hall. 

I am amazed that Councillor Adams King believes that this plan has general approval. 

A Citizens Assembly of 41 people seems to be the only public consultation. Most Romsians I talk to were unaware of the plan until very recently. 

I attended a display by Romsey Future in the town hall in 2018, and was assured that demolition of Crosfield Hall was not part of the plan. I wonder how early developers were involved in the planning. 

Cllr Adams-King says that the process is too advanced to change. This is not true. Surely a proper debate, perhaps organised by the Advertiser, is the next step.
