How to evict Hot Dog Trader?

The Tory controlled ESBC has removed Hot Dog vendor from Station Street after serving the local population for over thirty years.  But they have handled this relatively simple matter like this:

First the Council told all Street traders that they will be moved to Market Square. But after over 4000 signature petition the Council was forced to do a U turn and told the traders they can stay in Station Street.

Then they told the traders they will have to retender for their pitches as the Council wants to attract new traders with different offerings.

The Council duly commenced advertising campaingn and paid for adverts in different Newspapers spending cash whilst cutting vital services.

Despite the advertising campaign the response was very poor and the existing received applications from existing traders.

Throughout this process, the Council did not consult properly and instead tried to restrict communications. 

They then evaluated the applications and awarded four pitches to existing traders.  The only one to lose out was Hot Dog Vendor and after over thirty years service, he has bowed out.

So after months of uncertainty, U turns, confusion and at a considerable cost to the tax payers, the Tory Council has evicted the Hot Dog trader.  It can only be described as utter shambles and waste of money. 
Whilst all this wasgoing on the Lib Dem Councillor who represents the Town Centre Ward went totally quiet. 
The next big project for these Tory Councillors is to kill the Market.
