    Charity shops shoud be seen side by side with lots of independent shops that provide a very wide range of products. The fact that people buy cheap in a charity shops means they could have more money to spend in their traditional shops provided they have the right product range on offer.
    A look on the internet at the indoor markets in Newport will see that there are a range of goods available- there are 5 different food outlets in an area that is only the size of the Peoples Market — this does then generate a massive a variety of people looking for different types food.
    Another big difference is the place is clean, tidy and there are n o broken lights on any of the stalls (can this be said about the Peoples Market- broken lights , trailing cables).
    The total package has t be right for a consumer experience– there is plenty of choice and people can vote with their feet, car or bus pas by funding alternate shops.

    Some problems I found when in business in the markets were that Charity shops were buying in new goods from the Manchester wholesalers, and then undercutting the independent retailer.When an independent retailers livelihood is threatened I can assure you it is not a nice feeling.

    There are set rules for Charity shops that sell new items about the % of sales that are permitted before they can loose their rate relief. The Council as the rating authority should ‘police’ the situation and act if there are complaints which all businesses are entitled to do if their business is being affected.

    The Council or trading standards do not do anything about it.Another scenario is shops that have banners saying closing down sale,last five days.You then find the same banners still there two months later.It’s just a con.The Council are too busy to bother.
