普利茅斯(Plymouth)的圣诞市场(12月21日结束)面临小商人的批评, Plymouth’s Christmas market, closing December 21, faces criticism from small traders over rising pitch fees they say make participation unaffordable, especially for craft sellers. 尽管活动运营方Market Place表示费用公平，包括手工艺品的补贴价格和额外的交易周，但一些摊主报告租金大幅上涨，且对大型摩天轮和圣诞老人洞穴等景点的承诺未能兑现。 Despite Market Place, the event’s operator, stating fees are fair and include subsidized rates for crafts and an extra trading week, some vendors report steep rent increases and unfulfilled promises of attractions like a big wheel and Santa’s grotto. 虽然市场广场以商业敏感性为由拒绝披露具体价格, 但该市的贫困率居高, 且生活危机持续成本高居不下, The city’s high deprivation ranking and ongoing cost of living crisis amplify concerns, though Market Place declined to disclose specific pricing, citing commercial sensitivity.
