Keep Gourmet Street Food in Perceval Square.

Allow Gourmet Street Food to continue operating from Perceval square in Stornoway.

Why is this important?

"As many of you are aware, we have been told by the council that we are no longer allowed to have our trailer in Perceval Square. We are really upset about this as they only gave us permission in the beginning because "we were offering something unique and different". To change their minds now, we feel is really unfair. All we ever wanted to do was to bring something new to Stornoway - we are currently 2nd on Tripadvisor for restaurants in Stornoway (we must be doing something right) and we see you all as friends.

We had a meeting recently with the council and we asked them if there was anything we could do to help resolve the situation. "Move" was the answer."

Gourmet Street food is a small local business, using local produce which brings to the town something that is both unique and highly valued in it's offering. Perceval square as it stands is a under-utilised public realm which is brought to life by this focal point through the week offering not only great local food but also local hospitality and craic to both visitors and locals alike.

We simply ask that the Comhairle support local businesses and be flexible in allowing trailers to operate in Perceval square.
