n Sturdy steel stall containing a table with a canvas/vinyl top.
n Safe and secure environment with CCTV coverage and police patrols.
n Electric lights (during winter months).
n Refuse and recycling collections throughout the day.
n Free parking.
n The opportunity to trade in a city that is a desirable place to live and work.
