I've been chatting to a trader from the antique market in Catherine Street this morning.
He has given up because of the new traffic rules. He cannot come into Salisbury without a permit and he cannot unload outside his premises. He's been told to use a public car park but that's not ideal when you're lugging large, heavy or delicate stuff about.
He says he will save himself about £100 a month that he would have spent on coffees and other bits and pieces in Salisbury shops whilst bringing in his antiques.
He's selling them elsewhere instead. He says Shaftesbury is much easier.
Another unintended consequence of an ETRO brought in without proper consultation with people trying to make a living here.
