Somehow I don't think that ANY government would give a council ringfenced money to "employ a questionably famous chef to work for 2hrs and 15 minutes and pay him £8k to do it" It just doesn't happen like that. I, personally, have tried to work with the portfolio holder but they just don't want to listen. IF THE STALLHOLDERS THOUGHT THEY WOULD MAKE MONEY THEY'D BE CLAMBERING TO OPEN 6 DAYS. Listen to people who know for gods sake. I've been in the Market hall on the 3 Wednesdays since it opened, Aldo Zilli drew a fair few people in BUT not £8k worth of trade. Sean Wilson drew in hardly anyone and Kenny Baker was frankly embarrassing, with 6 main stalls closed because it's just not economically viable to open. Labour Councillors WANT the Market Hall to work, we've done a lot of work and we are desperately trying to help.
