More traders at Burnley market as package of support unveiled (From Lancashire Telegraph)

What would be the best thing the Council could do as far as the Market is concerned? I know the layout isnt that great really and could certainly have been covered better for bad weather. Is there a problem with rent levels, are they too high?

I think as far as the Market Hall goes, quite a lot of investment is now going into that, but i do recall that the traders in there have been complaining for years about lack of Council Support/Investment, and now that Investment is being made, quite a few are still unhappy. I know quite a few of the Market Traders are very proactive and want to promote themselves and the Markets, however theres also a lot of them who cant be bothered and seem to think that all promotion and advertising should be purely the Councils responsibility. If they cant be bothered to promote themselves, then why should the council do more than they already are doing?
