But none of that has been enough to ensure the existing Baiter snack bar can continue. BCP Council put the contract for the kiosk out to tender as scheduled this year, even though the Covid crisis had left catering businesses everywhere trying to trade their way back to profit. The existing operator, Nigel Milham, was told by email that the council had chosen someone else’s bid and he should leave the site by April 30. He has accused the council of “destroying a long-established, family-run enterprise”. Since the kiosk is his full-time job, he will be without income on May 1.
