Not all stalls welcome in Blankenberge: “Market square is too small”

Joris Vanderwee operates Jorchan Markets. He represents a group of non-food vendors. He argues for more solidarity, also because, according to him, there is really enough space on the Blankenberge market without jeopardizing safety.

“We are still in the open air anyway, so why are those rules so strict on the market when they are not so strictly applied in the shopping streets? If you now make those corridors 4 meters wide, that is already a reasonable distance “You put arrows on the ground that people have to walk in one direction. Then you can already put a lot more market vendors and then almost everyone is already more or less satisfied. It can be done differently, without exaggerating with the measures. “
