September 24, 200916 yr Now that the market place development is nearing completion what would you like to see the space used for?
September 24, 200916 yr Definitely live music of some sort or maybe a farmers market or a themed market of some sort. Street theatre -no living statues though!! Edited September 24, 200916 yr by alison
September 24, 200916 yr Author An outdoor movie screen would be pretty good but perhaps a little unrealistic.I hope the lightings up to scratch.

September 26, 200916 yr GGGG,Might be worth doing a poll to elicit something we can all get behind for the new Market Place? Maybe even sending it to every contact in the membership list? With enough backing it should have enough critical mass to be presented to at least the new Town Council for consideration.
September 26, 200916 yr Is it too much to ask for. quite simply, a market in the market place? I have heard, however, that stallholders are not going to take up slots in the new market places as they are not permitted to take vehicles onto it.

September 26, 200916 yr An outdoor movie screen would be pretty good but perhaps a little unrealistic.I hope the lightings up to scratch.This is the North East of England, not the Canaries.

September 26, 200916 yr that doesn't stop the ones at mopeth! there will be a loading bay for them to use whats there problem? What ones at Morpeth? Last time I looked there were three or four. I don't know what the problem is, just what i've been told. Interesting about the loading bay - where would that be?
September 26, 200916 yr What ones at Morpeth? Last time I looked there were three or four. I don't know what the problem is, just what i've been told. Interesting about the loading bay - where would that be?according to the plans! (look at the plan on "revamp for bedlington market place") its right out side the tavern! so they wont have far to walk with there tip rubbish!
September 27, 200916 yr according to the plans! (look at the plan on "revamp for bedlington market place") its right out side the tavern! so they wont have far to walk with there tip rubbish! Right, so how many stallholders will be able to park there at one time and unload/load their stalls and gear, I wonder? One, two, ten? Sounds like a recipe for a big traffic jam to me.I shall have a look later when i'm down that way.
September 27, 200916 yr Can't imagine it causing much traffic if the majority of stall holders set up at 7am?If the area does end up not being big enough for everyone, then hopefully it'll be a case of quality over quantity (although it's hard to see who exactly will provide the 'quality').
September 27, 200916 yr torture equipment for al the numb feckers! such as ??? Edited September 27, 200916 yr by Monsta®
September 27, 200916 yr There is talk about maybe a mobile ice rink for a time.......Good idea.....yes/no?
September 27, 200916 yr There is talk about maybe a mobile ice rink for a time.......Good idea.....yes/no?what like a van full of ice! sure there not called ice cream vans!
September 27, 200916 yr Author There is talk about maybe a mobile ice rink for a time.......Good idea.....yes/no?I think that will be a popular suggestion, although if it's anything like the first incarnation of the previous market place regeneration we may get that from mother nature for free.
September 28, 200916 yr live music would be great. ive managed to do a couple of live gigs solo in the marketplace in morpeth on an afternooon acoustically with a pa provided by the promoters and its great to play for a couple of hours while people come and go and sit around with there chips n stuff!! Totally different gig to plaing in a rowdy bar .. lol
September 29, 200916 yr Can't imagine it causing much traffic if the majority of stall holders set up at 7am?That's if they can all park at once!!If the area does end up not being big enough for everyone, then hopefully it'll be a case of quality over quantity (although it's hard to see who exactly will provide the 'quality').This I agree with, but when was the last time you visited a market that had any quality?
October 1, 200916 yr Not for nothing, but this teenage rollerblader isn't exactly filled with enthusiasm at any of these options. Buskers? Street Theatre? Craft Fairs? F that S!Taking into account all the boodyhoodying on the other thread about parking charges, why not simply convert the market place into more parking spaces, eh?There's some joined-up thinking for you, right there.J-U T!

October 1, 200916 yr Author Well I was going to add "Rap Battles" but I thought it could come under the umbrella of Live Music if the definition was stretched enough.
