Should residents be subsidising a business?

Quoted from 78

A big difference in that having something in the middle of the market place is going to require some sort of secure semi permanent structure? Basically he is opening a new outlet.

No.  The report says, and so does my previous post, that a temporary canopy is required, in a muted colour, and discreet fixing (similar to the current market fixings), in the floor.

I know there a few flats in the alley and I believe some over the shops by the Kennet centre, but I cannot understand how they would be subsidising this.

So every night the staff will be taking it down & storing it away till the next day?

I don't see how we would be subsidising this business.

Why not, it happens with the exterior of the pub every night.

Like the market stalls do every Saturday and Thursday.

we must be expecting different things.

Presumably it will have to be removed for the markets every Thursday and Saturday and for the Sunday farmers' markets.

But won't they be hoping to be selling alcohol at these busy times?

I'm sure they would love to be operating at market times - but surely the space will be filled with market stalls.

Which raises an interesting issue - market stalls pay rent for the space they use; how much are the Town Council going to get from the Snooty Fox?

Interesting point.

Is the alcohol actually going to be stored & served from the market place? If so, this isn't a few tables & chairs. Is there going to be a till? Storage?

Or are 'waiters' going to be carrying trays of drinks from the Pub itself?

I suspect they'll set up a bar every night, I presume the choice might be more limited than in the pub itself.

I hope I don't ever have to sit on the table where the fish stall was during the Thursday market.

Isn't there some local ordinance about drinking in the street in Newbury.
