At the market

You will never see this header or read about my great market bargains again because the market has closed. This is a huge blow for the town and for the regular traders. People used to come from miles around to visit the market. No one is pleased except the vendors (who blame business rates) and the developers, who plan to build ‘a retirement village’ on the site. I can’t imagine how this will work. Ah me, when we first moved here there was still a livestock market there once a week. Now, every space in and out of town is being covered in new buildings. They are destroying the things about the place (market town) which made people want to live here.
