Fishponds Indoor Market

OUR VISION:

We would like to open a Community Indoor Market in Fishponds instead of the proposed Mcdonalds that it seems no-one wants.

It would generate a great place for 30/40 stalls. with VERY affordable premises and a fantastic place to shop. We want to create a place where people can sell their products with very low overheads that can pass on that to the customer, creating a sustainable, viable place for people to travel to, to shop locally.

we would be aiming at fresh fruit and veg, local artists, Butchers, Artists, and all general market stalls, with a little bit of everything.

It would also provide around 6 local jobs just for the admin/security on top of all the jobs the stalls will also generate.

On top of all this we will be putting 25% of the profits into a fund to help local small businesses, community projects, local charities and any other community aided projects that we feel will benefit the area.

FUNDING :

We will be opening it up for donations, crowd funding and we will be applying to the council and governments for any grants that may be available to us.

We are also working out a profit share for local companies to buy into the idea (will have details on that soon)

PROBLEMS:

We would like to say we have no problems, however this is very much not the case...

1: McDONALDS

Mcdonalds have appealed. we will have no choice but to wait for the outcome in November but we are hopeful that the right decision will come through. HOWEVER we will do as much work as possible so if we are successful we can get on as soon as its done with everything in place ready.

2: COLLIERS ESTATE AGENTS

At present they will not even take a phone call from us, until the appeal has taken place. we are hoping to get as much detail as possible up together with the help of the council so we can make a detailed proposition. if anyone has any information on the building itself please send it to:

indoormarketinfo@gmail.com

We really do need as much help as possible on this aspect.

We don't really understand their stance as we feel its in everyone's best interest to have a plan B for if the appeal is not successful.

PLEASE SHARE THIS PAGE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE TO DRIVE INTEREST THEN WE CAN PUT SOME REAL PRESSURE ON THE RELEVANT PEOPLE.

WILL KEEP YOU ALL UP TO DATE AS MUCH AS POSSIBLE THROUGHOUT....

LETS BEAT MCDONALDS TOGETHER!!!!
