We rely heavily on the internet for repairing and flashing mobile phones which we now have to take away to get repaired.
We have been promised that our shutter will get repaired as they did not replace it with an electronic one as they should have done for a like for like and it takes two people to lift up the shutter every morning (Health & Safety issue).

What a nightmare.
The council might not be looking after traders' best interests, but be assured your customers are behind you, 100%.
It's peoples' lives, and their families livlihoods, they are experimenting with.
If people want to open 24/7, and someone will pay the extra costs, fine.
Forcing people to open, is wrong, and will probably toll the death knell for many long founded family businesses in the Market Hall.
Good luck.
We're behind you.
