Although against the ‘sex trade’ and never having been in a shop, if these are the only tenants for the shops – then what is the answer, I do not see or hear of TESCO’S or any other type of trader enquiring for premises.
I see the Old Market and the general area in general it is a route to somewhere else. It can not support a newsagents (except for the dreadful one on Lamb Street that survives by selling illegal tabacco and alcohol to under age smokers – and the drunks from the sally.
The asperations of the group (OCMA) are fine and are to be commended, BUT the reailty is a hard life and a battle.

I would like to see OMCA take a stance against the sex industry in Old Market.
The area is now predominantly a residential one. It is no longer a quiet back water.
The young families that live in the area need retailers that cater for their needs. It does not need gangs of drunken, randy stags.
I understand that courage is required to oppose the sex industry. I know how distasteful those persons that profit from the sex industry are, and how they will seek to infiltrate, manipulate and intimidate you. Never the less, if Old Market is to prosper, it is a challange that must be faced. Good luck.

Hello Sophie, thanks for suggesting two new locations, I am convinced that we will find somebody to lead on this. There are several people interested if the market is set up and, of course, starting it is not an easy game.

Well its a cracking idea, but I am too busy at the moment. If someone else was heading it up I might help out I suppose.
That area outside the Phoenix pub would be good as it could share trade with Cabot Circus- (its so close to the car park, signs could divert folk). However that is not Old Market. I think for a Market in Old Market it should be along the pavements by Pie Poudre and opposite, oterwise too far to go for city centre shoppers. Could also bring in trade to local businesses along there.

I like the mix of old an new myself. The well designed new makes the old look its best, whilst providing modern residential spaces.

I live in Barstaple House also. Which flat are you in? You can park on Midland Road overnight for free as the 1-hour allowance is only until 6pm if not mistaken. Hope this helps!
