Doubt over the future of Keighley’s street markets
Bradford Council has been accused of “not being interested in Keighley” after it was revealed funding could be axed for the town’s popular street markets.
Opinion
Markets must be the lifeblood of any great city
War has ruined Aleppo’s souk, London’s street stalls face the threat of developers: in both cases, they must survive.
Make it easier for people to become market traders
Its exciting, even if long overdue, to hear the Government plans to issue a consultation on draft regulations.
Love your local market campaign
Even though the campaign “Love your local market” has been announced by the Government, It is extraordinary that no further information, can yet be found.
Time for the High Street to move on
I am a nobody in the scale of things but I did sit through the parliament debate about the issues effecting our Own Centers and High Streets.
Tell the council what you want
The value of the market hall and its traders to the town far exceeds the paltry profit the council gets from its rents.
Attitude
Their is still an attitude from some quarters that market traders are somehow not serious business people. . .
Communities not Commodities
The reality is, a market cannot be used as a commodity by interested parties in an attempt to prop up retail interests.
