• With certain ‘lockdown’ measures now starting to be lifted, it is timely to permit those market traders selling products (in line with government guidance) that wish to operate, to be able to do so, provided they and their customers can satisfactorily adhere to social distancing requirements.
Revised stall layouts will be in place to ensure social distancing can be maintained.
• Further measures will include, social distancing ‘A boards’ pavement markers and additional information signs on market gazebos.
Traders will be provided with operating requirements detailing their additional responsibilities
• If on inspection, social distancing measures aren’t in place or seen to be being observed, we reserve the right to suspend the trader/amend the stall layouts as required.
