Markets don't like Sundays: "Nick's fruit and vegetable shop manager Brian Coure will not open on March 4 but may open on another Sunday depending on the customer response. 'The biggest problem we have is getting staff,' he said."
To me, Sunday is an obvious day to have the markets open , but it is hard on the traders and that is the bit that needs to be resolved in a logical fashion without pressure on the stall holders. The markets have served us well for years and have a great atmosphere. It would be good to have them open on Sunday and would help the tourists. Some cities run markets for a short time on Saturday and Sunday. These people just can't keep doing because it suits us and they would need to have their precious businesses in safe hands if they need time out...as they deserve. Maybe some kind of mentoring programme needs to be set up so the stalls have trustworthy, competent people who can run them. There is no doubt they'd make a lot of money once we all knew Sunday was the go. More people are living in Adelaide too so it would be good for them. It just needs to be looked at and each hurdle jumped as it arises.
