Farmer's Market

Rates can't be used as an argument either as they hardly pay anything now since the introduction of the 80% reduction which will be 100% next year.

Saw an article in a paper somewhere that said that many don't claim this as they have to apply to their local authority for it and for some reason many small businesses haven't yet applied.

Vanadium - I stand corrected on this one, yes you have to apply to the Council for this. Read something recently which alerted me to your original post and checked up and yes it isn't automatically applied, you have to apply to get the reduction.

Interesting to read a letter in the Courier questioning the decision to have the Farmers Market at the Heritage Centre instead of Burnside Square and enjoyed reading through this again.

Can I just say since the Farmers Market moved I have only visited a couple of times. It isn't the same, and access is poor. As a result I don't go across to town on these Saturday mornings and don't shop elsewhere either.

Hopefully somone will alert Mrs Norrie to this thead.

I am a bit late in reading this thread, and don't have last weeks Courier to hand to double check, but I am positive the Market was advertised for last Saturday in the usual place, and when we went along there was nothing there. Any explanation?

The Farmers' Market is the 15th January 10am -1pm at the Heritage Centre.

DH, that was last Saturday, do you know when the next one is?

Yes...I've just realised that I haven't got this week's Courier yet. I just pulled out the one top of the pile of papers. Usually the Farmers' Market is held on the first Saturday of the month. I don't know if anything has changed.
