The post you are reporting:
Roger, I notice you're banging the market drum on two threads, to be honest its starting to come across as though you're sulking, when the reality is you are simply refusing to face the financial facts.
As I pointed out to you last week, the Town Team is endeavouring to start a weekly market with very limited resources; if you could answer these questions, which I have asked you a couple of times previously, it might help everybody.
The market manager - where would one be found and who would be involved in the recruitment process?
Who would fund this?
Who would the manager report to and where would he be based? Who would employ him?
The market stalls, you think 12 is inadequate - how would you fund the purchase of, lets say, 30, and where would they be stored?
How would the market be advertised and marketed?
If a profit were made what would happen to the market and who would administer it? Similarly if it lost money who would underwrite the loss?
The business plan you have prepared is not actually a plan, its a dream, which as I said last week would require Year 1 funding in the region of £60k, yet you have no specifics at all as to where this would come from. You are a District Councillor, does DDC have funds available? And if so why haven't they been untilised previously?
Roger, I'm sorry to appear confrontational but you are condemning the efforts of others who are putting in a lot of time and effort voluntarily, whilst waving around a completely uncosted and unfunded Business Plan.
If you have a plan to raise £60k to fund your plans, please accept my invitation on behalf of the Town Team to come along to a meeting and present your case, I can assure you it will be met with a very positive response. On the other hand, if you have some vague notion about a market manager, 30 market stalls and local advertising without a penny in funding I suggest you have a re-think.
