So paying the Market rent, paying for the clean up , paying for stalls and maintenance, paying for toilets, paying for staff to put up and take down stalls and waiving the street licence fee is what? Charity.

Stroud you need to wake up and get a grip on the actual costs of running a market.

There are clearly some financial issues to be balanced, including the fact that the regular farmers market avoids council tax payers funding a £40,000 pa compromise agreement to the owner of the Cornhill for SDC failing to run a regular market. But wouldn't it make marginally more sense to talk to people and negotiate a new licence, rather than rush through under the radar and without a vote a very risky measure that could lose the farmers market? That's a big price to pay for the town
