Had a walk around the new market today just before heading to work .

Very impressed with it to be honest , really spacious with plenty of shoppers in there too .

I bought 4 Yorkie Bars for a £1 off one of the stalls , where can you get value like that ? , all in date too .

I got chatting to the lad who had the stall and asked how trade was going and he said they'd seen a huge increase in trade and so far so good , early days but encouraging I thought .

Then he did a BUT and what he told me had me flabbergasted .

They have increased the rent on the stalls by £500 a month !!!!

That's an extra 6k a year , feckin hell !!!

How the hell can you justify an increase like that on lads n lasses who are hardly making a living to start with ?

Absolutely ridiculous , many won't be able to absorb that and they will close down , imagine ourselves taking a 6k a year paycut and surviving .

Fecking scandalous .

So when these businesses close down and there's hardly anyone trading the building will be a white elephant .

I just don't understand BMBC's logic , fecking dolls heads .

Add to that the long leases that they are forced to sign, many traders will go bankrupt.

And yet the same old useless lot who run the Local Council will get voted in and continue to make a balls up of everything they touch.

It's not my job to defend the council, but maybe it comes down to economics?

If the rents received don't cover the costs of running the market, every penny of subsidy would be a penny taken from tax payers that can't then be spent on other services.

And what of businesses who don't receive a subsidy in the form of below market value rents? How are they supposed to survive in the face of people who can knock out cheap Yorkies?

Vote to stop the Tory's caping the council with there austerity bullshyte then you might see the local councils helping these market traders, schools, getting people onto the houseing ladder and a host of other things.

The majority of these traders operate on very small margins , they source their stock through wholesalers and don't have the benefit of having huge distribution centres and can buy direct from manufacturers and take the middle man out of the margins .

They are sole traders , totally diferent trading agenda going on here as opposed to the big names trading elsewhere .

Once the building is totally devoid of traders then where is the economic benefit to BMBC ?

There is absolutely no way that new building justifies a 6k per annum increase to each and every trader , absolutely not .

This is Barnsley not fecking Oxford Street .

Wake up you morons .

[Ponte_Steve24]

Has that delicatessen that sold the right nice pork pies, steak slices, vegetable slices and pasties n' pork scratchings moved into new market hall?

I'd say butchers but they specialised in mostly cooked stuff. It used to be smack on a corner. Can't remember name though.

Where's the money coming from?

[Romared]

Carncil need to evva look at thussens , greedy bastuds , car parking fees keep increasing , all this new housing allova the Borough bringing in millions , selling off old schools , playing fields etc , weer does all that money go ? I hope those market traders manage to earn a decent wage, but it's a hellova lotta money for the rents ,
