I have no idea what this means? Why would a venue that is going to get most of its income from warm weekends, school holidays, tourists and light evenings open in the winter? Plus, they have only just taken in the lease. Give them a chance!! There actually aren’t that many that close for winter other than the obviously seasonal ones. Glen Helen for example are fairly new and traded and we’re busy throughout. They even extended into evenings.

asitis Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Damn,I thought for a minute the FSA had been disbanded and replaced with a regulator who wants to regulate as opposed to deter every business they can ! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
x-in-man Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 What's happening about the medical 'herb' farm at the B&Q roundabout? Did the plans go up in smoke? Has it been rolled up and forgotten? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. It was recently run by Connor Cummins. Totally new operators. But, yes, it’s been seasonal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The same as Conrods itself: the biggest issue was the place was never open and so people stopped even trying to go.

Albert Tatlock Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Problem on the island at the moment is that we're in our own inflationary cycle of our own making...upping rents, prices of everything. In the past year it has become 20% more expensive to live here. Youngsters, and even 40 yr old workers, are being financially cleansed from the island. In 10 years time a lot of businesses won't be here anymore. We need a residency act...and to stop importing retirees. 4 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Ltd company that had the lease from RTC was owned by Connor. I was talking about the business, not the building, which everyone knows is owned by RTC Edited April 6, 2023 by Ativa Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
