In letters to traders this week, management advised that
no November increase would be applied to SL Traders this year. However, PE
traders and Casuals will be subject to a 2% rent increase taking effect from 4th
December 2012.
Whilst we are pleased that SL Traders will not be subject
to a rent impost, it is regrettable that the same standard could not be
extended to all traders. Current retail trading conditions have resulted in
some high profile rent reductions as landlords grapple with maintaining
supportive customer levels for their tenants. General Merchandise Traders will
continue to argue that no rent increase should be applied until the true
measure of QVM performance, (trader’s incomes) shows significant improvement.

to form and can only get jobs half done at best, in that in their inscrutable
(or is that their “screw you”) “wisdom” whilst with one hand they caress SL
Licence holders by withholding their rent increase for the year, with the other
hand they have slapped the faces of PE Licence holders with an increase, oh and
give the SL Casuals a kick in the shins as well, yep they have to pay up
too(?).”
