So what exactly do you mean by "pulling their weight"? What is their weight? Is their rent unfair? They already contribute a huge amount directly because boat owners paying for moorings in the harbour and berths in the marina pay the harbour company. But also a huge amount indirectly to DL because members pay for parking, visitors to events stay in hotels or drink in bars, and the several hundred children who do courses during the summer eat in the town.

Seemed to be busy enough the other day, but there have been so many shops of that type in this unit now that eventually closed, I just don't see it working out.
