Thanks for your input - Ed.
29/11/2018 21:15:22 Committee of Trustees "Firstly, I personally would like to applaud this initiative where finally all stakeholders are sitting at the one table with the opportunity to engage and discuss all things QVM. This is potentially a great step forward in ensuring that there is across the board and real time awareness on the part of the relevant decision makers of the challenges facing our Market and as a result the possibility of developing some concrete strategies around meeting and overcoming at least some of these challenges.

Having said
that, the disappointment / frustration / anger in seeing that yet once again
the non food area of the Market, who form between 60-70% of businesses at the
Market, have no seat at that table is utterly exasperating."
