00:00I think it's fabulous, really nice, clean, everything's new again, bringing people back
00:09into town again as well, and I think once they've finished that bit down there, I feel
00:17like it's going to be even better.
00:20We've lived in Chesterfield now, well I've lived here for 49 years and I just think it's
00:25brilliant, love to see investment in Chesterfield, it's just good, it's just good to see the
00:30town's got a fresh look and it's pretty exciting for us isn't it?
00:33Yeah, we think it's great, I think they've done a great job of just updating it and just
00:38loving the new freshness of it and just seeing people actually using the market again is
00:43really exciting, so yeah, I think it's great.
00:46Better days ahead for Chesterfield, that's what we think.
00:49So what do you think about the new marketplace?
00:52Well the new market, it's coming on quite well actually, but the only real concern I
00:57have about it is if they'll be able to fill all the stalls on the designated market day,
01:05because the only time they seem to fill the stalls is on a Thursday when it's a brick
01:10and brack market and antiques and a lot of people come to that and nearly all the stalls
01:18are full, so that's the only concern I have, if they can fill the stalls, it will be good
01:24for Chesterfield.
01:26We need more sellers, that's what we need to make it more, and there's a lot that ain't
01:31there, we need loads more, Chesterfield market used to be big and now it's small, we need
01:39to move more in, the flea markets are great, absolutely brilliant, it's just these little
01:47ones here, if we're going to make the market great, we need more people, more sellers.
