THE proposal to move adult education from Broad Street to Haymarket Street is not destroying the service, as some correspondents suggest.

In fact, the services will move from an old, unsuitable building, completely unacceptable to people with disabilities, to a modern building which is fully accessible to everyone. It is also a town centre location and therefore as convenient as the current centre.

Most people would agree that turning the Arts and Crafts Centre into a museum is a good use of the building. It ensures the success of the Lancashire Fusiliers' Museum, of which Bury is rightly proud, and will help to attract further exhibits from the Fusiliers' regiment. In fact, it will establish a museum of national interest right in the heart of the town's "cultural quarter".

With regard to the number of licensed premises in the town centre, I ask Councillor Roy Walker to say which ones he would like to see closed, if he thinks there are too many.
