A proper market too, not some festive thing seling tourist tat or a 'farmer's market' with overpriced foodstuffs. Maybe Market Street would be a good location? </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12535#post-148140 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 16:40:49 +0000 PS 148140@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p><em>“There are people everywhere, and they take a lot of business away from us. </p> <p>“That’s probably one of the biggest reasons why I am against it.”<br /> </em></p> <p>:/ </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12535#post-148135 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 16:07:07 +0000 DaveC 148135@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>Cool, I'm sure drivers will be lobbying for the extra parking space, or taxi's will be lobbying for a rank there.</p> <p>:O( </p> http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/topic.php?id=12535#post-148132 Mon, 07 Apr 2014 14:46:06 +0000 chdot 148132@http://citycyclingedinburgh.info/bbpress/ <p>"</p> <p>PUBLIC events have been banned on a busy city centre street for up to six months over concerns they were affecting local traders.</p> <p>"</p> <p><a href="http://m.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/castle-street-ban-leaves-ceilidh-culture-homeless-1-3367740" rel="nofollow">http://m.edinburghnews.scotsman.com/news/castle-street-ban-leaves-ceilidh-culture-homeless-1-3367740</a> </p>
