Absolutely cracking writing and research. It is absurd (and extremely unfair) the way the market traders have been treated. In other cities and towns, covered and open markets are celebrated by the local authorities and tourist boards. there seems to be a sector that relies on grants and subsidy to start up , and then melt away or morph into another creative venture. (By the way I am a complete supporter of subsidising the arts, libraries, public space, parks, public transport, anything in fact that adds up to making a place somewhere where you want to live).
Hi Helen, many thanks for your coverage, you paint things in a very bad light. Unfortunately things are far worse. I’ve sent you an email and hope we can talk soon.

You know what Birkenhead needs? Less social liberal Thatcherism more anarcho cooperativism. See the Sants district of Barca.
