Would you like to see a market in Hoylake? If so, what kind of market... how often... where? Who would run it?

We must get all our facts in place first.

We must recognise that the traders of Birkenhead market have livelihoods to protect and that the Management of Birkenhead Market have a duty to them. Our approach needs to take that into account.

We believe there are a number of creative routes to be explored which could be mutually beneficial.

We know that they will expect us to set our stall out well. And we will.

We must be sure that there is sufficient footfall to support a market in Hoylake, and be sure that the format of the market is sufficiently attractive to locals as well as to people from outside Hoylake. It must be viable.

A well researched, well presented and realistic business plan is essential.

There are many other issues to be considered, such as staffing, Public Liability Insurance, and Health and Safety.

But none of this is insurmountable. We need you to express your support for this idea.
