Zinger549 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Just seen this on Facebook. Quote Bad news I'm afraid. Starting in the new year I will only be trading on the Moor on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. This is because the new owners of The Moor, New River do not want the market on the precinct. Apparently we're not in keeping with the high class retail environment they've created. They have no choice in having us there 3 days due to the market charter. The market department are working towards re-siting us at Moorfoot, near the burger van, International Salon, Just Cuts etc. for Monday to Wednesday, however there is currently no electricity. Once power has been sourced I'll be there, along with all the other traders. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHasRisen Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 (edited) Did notice the other day he was getting round the ban on fees for card payments by offering a slight discount for cash payments. Meh. That entire row of market stalls down near Atkinsons looks naff anyway. The end down near Moorfoot is atrocious compared to the rest of the Moor now.

Mister M Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 I thought the Council would've been the ultimate arbiter of who and who cannot trade on the moor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anna B Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 What's wrong with market stalls? They add a bit of colour to the street. I would love to know who 'New River' are who apparently own the Moor. I always thought it would be the council. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How a private company can own part of a city , who knows Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lemmy117 Posted December 30, 2022 Share Posted December 30, 2022 Because it was 'sold off' over twenty years ago so that private investment could pay for its revamp. Scottish Widows, Aberdeen Investments and several other have been involved with it over the years, they own most of the buildings along there anyway.
