'We have been hung out to dry': Market traders' anger as they're told to pay full rent - despite it being shut for three months in lockdown

here"A lot of the traders in there, some of them are quite young, single parents and this is their only source of income. Business won’t be the same for a long time."Many of the Tommyfield traders had qualified for a £10k small business grant to support them during the pandemic.But Mr Aslam said that the entirety of his grant went on outstanding costs that were owed before COVID-19 struck, leaving nothing to pay the £3,000 he owes in rent - the price for a double stall for 12 weeks."That £10,000 - hand on heart I didn’t use a penny of that to feed myself," the 35-year-old said."At first I thought it’s a grant worth hanging on to and maybe help me to set up my business again but that’s gone."There is nothing left of that at all.
