A Pier Head trader who faces losing her pitch for Eurovision if she doesn't cough up £6,000 says she has received widespread support - including a customer throwing £50 into her van.
On Saturday, the ECHO revealed that Scouse street traders Patsy Murphy and Rebecca Molloy have been told by Liverpool City Council that they must pay the large sum if they want to retain the Pier Head pitch they have held since 2010 during the period around the Eurovision Song Contest next week.
This is because their pitch falls within what will be the Eurovision Village and the council has temporarily suspended all existing street trading licenses in the area. Traders can reapply, but at a cost of £6,000.
