Hello,

I own a frozen yogurt shop that is in it's second month of trading. We are in South Devon where the summer holidays are our life, everything happens in these 6 weeks.
This morning I opened my doorto find a letter from the estate agent that manages the property that says from the first week of August there will be scaffolding erected on this building whilst they decorate the outside of the building. The scaffolding will be moved around the building as they de orate the different sections. I have been told by the agent that it will be outside our shop for 2 weeks.
This is unacceptable as this takes up 2 weeks of prime business time for us. We are in the second month of business so every penny counts, this could seriously jeopardise our business.
is there a way I can make this not happen. September would be a fine month for this to take place, August just takes the piss.
We will lose out on big money (for us).
Help would be appreciated.

Bob

Impossible to talk top the landlord add they are are big company.
I know they are obliged to redecorate but August is just ridiculous.
I will have to look at the lease tonight when I get home.
I'm posed of because this will wipe a huge chunk of our year.
