Save Belle Vue
Published Date:

I agree with Pearl Johnson's letter (SFP, August 7) regarding the Sudbury tax office. It would make a great medical centre. Another idea might be to regenerate the Borehamgate precinct – the building is one of the worst-looking in the town and is completely out of place with its historical surroundings.
I think that the whole site could be regenerated, a new and much better-looking precinct, a brand-new Bury St Edmunds-style bus station, and a new precinct could be made larger than the present one and house a bigger number of shops and businisess, and such a regeneration could include that derelict land by the bus station.
So really there is no need at all to demolish Belle Vue House. I have just recently become a member of Sudbury Society, which came into being after the successful 1973 campaign to save the former Corn Exchange (now the town library) from demolition by developers.
I will now support the society in its efforts to save Belle Vue. If it worked in 1973, then it can work now.
