Gazebos would have taken flight

You may just remember the 'Underscan' project in February last year,

when huge contraptions were set up at the bottom of the Market Square for the purpose of projecting fiddly little four-second videos on to the ground billed as art.

I was one of the traders whose stalls were taken down to accommodate this event and I was given gazebo stalls instead, put up and taken down by our hard-working market staff daily.

Luckily most of the period the light show was on we didn't get bad weather but we were glad to see our traditional stalls back in place. The gazebos would never stand some of the bad weather we get on Northampton market.

I have seen our present stalls stay in place while their roof sheets were ripped off by gale-force winds. Imagine what would have happened to the gazebos.

They would have probably taken flight.

These are the sort of questions that have to be thought about before politicians, who know nothing of market working conditions, start demanding that we all get seaside gazebo stalls.
