New searchYou need to make this experience easier and user friendly …..This site is not user friendly …ie having to fill in a separate response form for each question answered makes the whole thing protracted and puts people off. I nearly didn't bother when I saw this. and nowI have to startall over again with a new form to answer the second question……how ridiculous!

The Market at The City Centre needs to be protected by a local bylaw to preserve it as a social Hub (see included paper on the importance of markets as social spaces published under the Joseph Rowntree Foundation ) that is dependent on its commercial centre for survival. It is also a place where new enterprises, as well as established local businesses, can thrive giving employment to many. Its logistical functioning and detailed needs, as well as its practicing customs must be enshrined in local law under the legal polarity of common law, so there can never again be a threat to its right continue as a commercial, living, historical, heritage continuum in its rightful place in the Market Sq. . Its presence is priceless and it needs to be guarded as our local jewel in the Cities Crown for perpetuity. Its brand of an openair old fashioned English market with fixed old English market stalls also needs legalising under branding rules so it cannot be tampered with or destroyed by modern new flimsey 'out of keeping with the historic feel' stalls. This is essential for its value as a well loved local and visitors place of felt 'common ownership' and sense of connection, meaning and belonging. I realise this will take some defining but it is up to us to guard this jewel.
