Why is a semi permanent business allowed to operate in our main street in Gunning?

They are in competition with permanent business that pay rates, registration, insurances and are subject to inspections by our council health people.

How can our existing business grow if these fly-by-nighters are allowed in?

There is a big difference between the once-a-month for our exceptional good Lions club markets and a semi-permanent, take-the-money-out-of-our-shire pop-ups.

No business registration is visible and who do we call if there is a health issue.

The ratepayers and business have a right to know.
