The main topic of discussion around Yamba's central business district at present is the signage tenants of a commercial property in the town's main street placed in the front window of their business.
The business, which is a healthy food outlet with an A-1 reputation for providing five-star products, will close at the end of the month.
Locals and visitors who saw the signs were gob-smacked. They were astonished the business felt it had to resort to such a tactic to demonstrate the extent to which factors beyond its control were responsible for the business closing.
Apparently, the signs in the shop's window didn't muck around. Allegations were made about greedy landlords (the $ amount of rent for the premises was shown), high costs of utilities and costs imposed on the business by government.
Also, it's said the signs named names, businesses and levels of government which are allegedly involved in the high rents and charges imposed on the business.
The bottom line: another well-supported business departs the local scene due to the burdens of overheads imposed upon it.
Footnote: the building housing the healthy food outlet that's about to close recently lost another tenant from the premises next door; that business specialised in what Yamba's renowned for, its fresh seafood.
