    Keith I am not opposed to a market,but it needs to sell things that is not sold already in the Town,most shops are only just surviving and the one day that is busy and where most shops make enough to keep open is on Saturday.Now the extra footfall will be good,but if a stall costing £25 for one day has to compete for the same people where one has to pay business rates,then some shops selling the same as the market could go to the wall.The problem is the market will only be open one day a week the shops are there for 6 days,so I am in favour of limiting the market to what we haven't got generally or putting it on a Sunday.
    I see Cruise passengers and members of the public wandering around the Town on Sundays with little to do,lets publisize a Sunday market and see how it goes.I have had phone calls and meetings with 3 traders who are worried about the Saturday market,many shops will welcome it,Multinationals,Cafes and even Charity shops,but the small independent specialist shops may not if they are selling what they do on the market for 1 day where they sell the same goods over 6.
