BACKGROUND

The Council provides a monthly market every second Saturday of every month on the Market Place, however under the current COVID-19 pandemic the stalls are set out on two sites. The additional site will vary between the Memorial Gardens on King Street and the Coppice car park adjacent to the Market Place depending on the season. The Council owns all of the market equipment.

SERVICE REQUIREMENTS

To erect canopies on 26 stalls before 7am on the market day and at 3pm remove all the stalls and equipment and store away in the Council's depot. From April to September inclusively the Council intends to hold a craft market on the Sunday after the regular market. This would mean that the pattern of work will differ for those months.
