WE'RE BACK! Kind of...
Benjamin, Colin and Tom here, after over a year since all the work started, the light might be at the end of the tunnel. After trying to get hold of the council last week to understand our future, and whether we'll be allowed back on the market square, contractor Eric Wright has given us the green light to stand at the market's original location again TOMORROW, ON THE FLAG STONES.
We've been told we are only a few weeks until the market square is complete and that'll be when we'll be in the council's hands, whether we'll be given access to the square on Thursdays. We've not had any communication that this will be given, or any approach from them yet to build the Thursday market back to the levels it was years ago (We are aware of other traders who would join us, but we need clarity from the council, on how we'll get on and off the square each week).
We're open to all conversations with the council and want the Thursday market to be the thriving community hub it always was. If we don't hear anything we might be reaching out again to you all for help, but for now, we keep positive on a relationship being built.
See you tomorrow!
