This really is a poor display of authority-intelligence, of our council tax being wasted on petty minded bureaucracy and and honest, upstanding, big-hearted, caring member of the community, (though unrelated to any of those in “authority”) someone who is simply trying to EARN a living in tough times, whilst broadening the multi-cultural pallet and sensibilities of Bedford, being treated with an attitude wholly reminiscent to that about which they, the council, are allegedly complaining. Bullying and abuse of power. Merry Christmas?

Can't believe you guys and your dumplings have been taken away from me. Thursdays just won't be the same without you. Shame on you Bedford Council, please reconsider.

I've not tried the food but I enjoyed hearing the music every time I past. It's all about good music that's what makes things lively! Something Bedford needs! Bring back I am dumpling!!

A £100 punishment for a ten pence crime.

The biggest dumpling's the dough brain that's got nothing better to whinge about than their inability to misunderstand satire..

Please bring back the dumplingist's. they liven up the market

Please bring them back. I miss them so. It was so wonderful to have something new at the market!! Come

they need to come back! the music put a smile on people's faces and the dumplings are banging!
