Reader letter: Chichester’s definition of a ‘Christmas Market’ is disappointing

Am I the only person disappointed with Chichester Council's definition of a ‘Christmas Market’?

Has no one on the council ever visited Winchester and seen what they can do?

We have over-priced cheese and fudge, sold from the same stalls we see throughout the year! Where are the decorated ‘chalet’-style stalls we can see in other cities?

Reader letter: 'Is this really the service I get from Sussex Police?'

Where are the decorations?! Where is the festive music?

I was going to say, where are the stalls selling wonderful Christmas presents, but I did see a carved wooden reindeer bench for £4,500.00. I imagine they are selling like hot-cakes?

Could we really not do any better than this? It's no wonder our regular market traders are up in arms!
