While some residents are not fussed, Lincoln businesses are worries about losing trade
The impending end to the Lincoln Christmas Market after 40 years has left independent businesses in the city worried for their future.
“I know the council got feedback from residents, but it would have been nice to be consulted. It’s been sprung on us without any warning, and will definitely damage the business.”The market’s £260,000 budget will be distributed to a range of smaller events through the year under proposals, which some have welcomed.
A Union Road resident who lives close to the castle said: “I’m surprised to hear the council hasn’t been making money on it – shouldn’t it have been questioned before now? A statement from the Lincoln Conservative Group criticised the Labour-led council’s ’unsustainable business model’. Cllr Lindsey Cawrey, executive member for cultural services at Lincolnshire County Council, said: “This will come as disappointing and surprising news for many businesses in the city, and around the county, who rely on trade from Lincoln Christmas Market.
