[Margaret Pilkington]

Whatever those councils bods decide, will have the life of the Market Hall in their hands......and my guess is that they will railroad through this hare brained scheme and the Market Hall will die because the traders will leave.

The traders know their trade....the type and the volume. They know if it is worth trading 6 days.......and it is all very well saying that more people will go into the Market hall if it is open, but they won't necessarily buy anything.
In these days of financial constraints, there is only so much money about....opening for another day only spreads that money thinner....reducing the traders profit and I can see some of them leaving rather than going bankrupt on a councils badly thought out principles/whim.
