Yes Barrie, you are right about better having a little income than none, but currently at my last visit there were more vacant stalls than occupied ones. How can this be good business.
If an asset is generating no revenue then it ceases to be an asset and become a liability.
The council should endeavour to have every stall filled, but I really don't think the market is a priority.
Nor do I really know what the council considers a priority. There appears to be very little being done to regenerate the town.
