I STRONGLY support the proposal put forward by Dr Beevers at the meeting on February 25 for a discreet lift alongside the existing staircase at the Market House.

As a staircase already exists it seems pointless and a waste of money to install another, external staircase, which however well designed is bound to be an eyesore on the existing building. Surely English Heritage can appreciate this?
