Cambridge Market: Talking to the traders - Wednesday 18th December 2024

A big thank you to all the stall holders who spoke to me in this part, I truly appreciated the time you spent with me and the informative conversations we had..
This series of videos has come about because I visited the market on the 14th December and got talking to a butcher about the proposed changes the City Council wants to make. He had a petition against it on his counter and I asked him about it as I was signing.
While talking to him, I suddenly thought it might be a good idea to talk to as many traders as I could about the proposals and record what they had to say. I spent the next week doing just that, and may continue after the Christmas break if I get the time. It has been both eye-opening and illuminating. I have learned a lot from the people I have spoken to, on and off camera, and I am very grateful to everyone for putting up with me at what is the busiest time of year for them.
