We asked people is Tramlines still good for Hillsborough businesses

Transcript

00:00Just speaking to MJ from Boo Cafe, how will Tramlines affect things for you business-wise?

00:06Business-wise, I think Tramline is a great, great event. There are people coming in too and then obviously we get loads of new customers

00:13and then we're trying to give our best customer service for the new customers that obviously they want to come

00:18and then have a look in, visit the Tramline. So I think Tramline is a great event and then obviously it's really good, yeah.

00:29Could you tell me if Tramlines is a good thing or a bad thing for local businesses in Hillsborough?

00:33It's certainly good for us. We're having a stall inside in Little Hillsborough this year so we're

00:38really looking forward to that. We did really well last year despite the rain so hoping to do well

00:42again this year. What about the shop? Will the shop be open? The shop will be open. It's normally

00:46quite quiet in the shop because a lot of the locals won't come down with Tramlines being on

00:52but we do hope we get some repeat customers from all the people coming past and seeing that the

00:56shop's here. Could you tell me if you think that Tramlines is a good thing or a bad thing for

01:01businesses in Hillsborough? I think it is a good thing. It used to be a better thing years ago when

01:07they allowed people to come in and out and support the local businesses a bit more but they can't do

01:13that these days but I think people now have started to get more in the spirit and doing things

01:17themselves, the businesses, you know and having their own events and things like that so yeah I

01:22think it is a good thing in the end. Could you tell me as a business what you think of Tramlines

01:28coming to Hillsborough again this weekend? It doesn't affect my business very much other than

01:34customers can't park so I do tend to close for the weekend and just take it as an extra holiday but

01:40for the area I think it's great.
