EDINBURGH NEEDS A PERMANENT MARKET/BOOT SALE PLACE
Edinburgh needs an affordable permanent place to hold BOOT SALE/MARKET stalls -on a weekly basis.
The boot sale market at the top of Leith Walk in the lower levels of the car park ,was a great place .It was of a reasonable cost ,and so most people could afford to rent a pitch to sell items not needed anymore.
It had a community type feel about it .One could meet friends there for a blether or a good old root for bargains. It was great for people on a low budget as toys were sold there and plenty of childrens clothes at a good price .As well as adults clothes too.THE IDEA OF RECYCLING INSTEAD OF BUYING NEW IS GREENER!!

Why is this important?
Its important as a community gathering .Often items were sold for pennies and items normally out of budget ranges were there at a reasonable price. I bough a lot of my clothes and dishes for my home there Along with curtains and other necessary items.
Too many people live on hourly or short contracts and boot sales are invaluable
Charity shops have almost priced some parts of our community out altogether Their prices have risen -a huge amount-
Its also a great communal meeting point and if a permanent place was provided perhaps a small cafe could be set up too ,creating a job for someone??!!
People just love a good market .
