No business should be forced to open hours they don't want to.
The council were wrong to try.
The Market Hall has successfully housed many businesses over the past hundred and forty years.
If it isn't broke, don't try and fix it.
No one ever had a problem with the place being opened on a Wednesday, but making those who didn't want to trade that day was idiotic.
No matter why this was enforced, the majority of traders were of the mind that it was all tied in to the new first floor cafe opening there.
The refurbishment carried out under the last council's leadership was a success.
The fact that there are less market stalls in there now, after the refurb, isn't such a successful outcome.
