I'm not entirely sure how much this is all costing either, although at least they are having a go at pulling people in.
The problem is that the traders are still having to find the money to pay collossal rents and hire extra staff and almost every one of them wants more investment in the days when the market is already open rather than extra days. I personally would drop the rents and fill every stall in there rather than trying to squeeze even more out of the successful ones.
It's common sense, but when has that ever been the overriding trait of those in power?
