Representation Summary:
Remove street market from High Street avoid blight elsewhere
Full text:
Para 7 Street Markets - The current street market at the top of the High Street needs to be removed. This is extremely detrimental to attracting high quality retailers to the High Street. Currently access to shops and views of windows is severely obstructed. From a professional point of view I could not recommend taking up a unit under these circumstances and I believe that the market is contributing to decline. If the market is to be moved the new location MUST NOT blight another area. I do NOT oppose a market BUT it must be sited where it does not lead to negative results.
