Scouse street traders who were told to pay £6,000 to keep their Pier Head spot during Eurovision have reluctantly agreed to pay the fee and trade at the waterfront during the contest.
Patsy Murphy and Rebecca Molloy have said they will continue to fight Liverpool Council's decision, but could not risk having no income whatsoever during the festivities.
The business owners said they have refused to put their prices up and will instead try to absorb the extra costs themselves and will make representations to the newly elected council about the decision in due course.
