Dear Sir,
In response to the Town Centre Manager’s comments on the possible return of the weekly market I get the impression he does not want it in the town centre!
Why not ask residents for their opinion instead of outsiders? I would have thought a market brings people into the town which in turn creates business for the shops as well as a lively atmosphere.
Stockton are promoting their market with great success and something needs doing in Newton Aycliffe. Markets are not in decline in North Yorkshire and other places and they only tend to decline when you have a negative attitude.
I was a stall holder in the market and now use the Thames Centre each week.
