Market operational amendments as a consequence of Covid 19

Decision Maker: Executive Director of Operations

Decision status: Recommendations Approved

Is Key decision?: No

Is subject to call in?: No

Decision:

Bury Market opening hours restricted to full market days only – Wednesday, Friday and Saturday.
Access for traders to attend for food preparation on non-market days but not open to the public.
In view of security issues and enforcing social distancing, given only one or two traders would be open, Markets Management have amended opening hours accordingly.

Ramsbottom Market has been suspended until further notice.

As the market is located on a car park and operates on a Saturday only, the temporary nature restricts the ability to implement and enforce social distancing measures which would put both the traders and the public at risk.

All temporary markets and car boots are also suspended for the reasons above.
