North West Leicestershire District Council gives public the chance to have their say on local markets

North West Leicestershire District Council is asking for the public's views on local markets.
The council says it is developing a new policy to make sure markets in North West Leicestershire are consistent, fair and great for the local economy.
It adds: "Whether you're a trader, shopper or event organiser, your feedback matters.
"Right now, we are consulting on a draft Market Rights Policy. It's about making sure we have a fair and consistent approach to how markets are run — protecting the ones we already invest in, while supporting the right kind of new events too.
"This affects everything from one-off artisan events to large-scale commercial fairs. That's why we want to hear from residents, traders and event organisers.
"Markets play a key role in our town centres — help us make them even better."
You can have your say by emailing: [email protected] and the draft policy can be read HERE.
Coalville's open-air market was re-sited to the newly refurbished Marlborough Square last year, next to the indoor facility at Newmarket.
In Ashby, there is an artisan market each month, and a permanent one in the Town Hall.
