£36k+ per year in rent for a market stall, RIP Sheffield market


Recommended Posts

SCC do have a history of putting up buildings for short periods of time - DVS lasted 23 years and the new town hall built in 1977 only survived 25 years.

 

I've got clothes in my wardrobe that have lasted longer.

 

Perhaps they just aren't very good at what they get paid to do.

Its the same all over the country until thr councils and private market operators realise that the markets are not cash cows only that they draw people into the towns or the cities. Also that the new starters don, t have deep pockets.

Is it ethical that someone selling carrots in a grocers shop at Hillsborough should have to pay council tax to subsidise the free rent of someone selling carrots on a stall in the Moor Market?

 

Is it ethical that someone who is sterile and can never have children should have to pay council tax to subsidise the free schooling of the offspring of people who can have children?

Silly question. About as ethical as the taxes on the income of the grocer being given to the EU to subsidise French farmers to grow carrots which could end up in his own shop.

What can you get at Sheffield Market that you can't get in Tesco?

 

Well, there's the entertainment value I suppose. A leisurely walk down chav alley is sure to prove entertaining but product wise there's nothing there.

 

For some reason there's a generation of people who believe these market traders come straight from the farm with their tractors full of produce each morning. That's not the way it works.
