St Edmundsbury Borough Council-breaks another promise


St Edmundsbury, who have pledged to help retail businesses have broken another promise by increasing market stall rents by 4.25%.

At a time when many shops and retailers are struggling its seems insane that a council with £53 million in reserve would pile even more pressure on market holders by increasing rents.

Last week a stall holder who has worked in the Town Centre packed up shop, after 25 years in Bury. Does St Edmundsbury want to kill of our market?

    yes i dont believe what the owner said in the bury free press last week about wanting a change and needing to upgrade equipment etc, its obvious that the council have driven him out. i think they plan to build another arc there.
