All Smiles

Market Day and the Market Place still hadn't been cleared or so I thought. It was a surprise therefore to find the stalls had been erected and many of the market traders were on hand to do business. It turns out that the traders along with the Market Inspector (and probably the erection team too) had cleared paths through the market to allow customers access to the stalls.


A little bit of similar effort last weekend by the Council could have seen Saturday's market to be held and they would not have lost the income from the rents paid by the stall holders. Everyone - traders, customers, Council Tax payers - would have benefited but no matter, it was all smiles today especially on Chapman's Bakery stall - the only traders to brave the elements last time and give their customers the service to which they have become accustomed. For that reason alone, they deserve encouraging.
