Recommendation(s)
THAT:
1.Subject to all necessary consents and permissions being obtained,
approval is given to extend the temporary arrangement for Arnold
Town Market to be held at Eagle Square, Arnold until March 30th
2025 whilst a full review is undertaken for the future location of
the market.
2.Subject to all necessary consents and permissions being obtained
approval is given to commence a further 28-day consultation with
market stall holders, local residents, businesses surrounding Eagle
Square and Arnold Marketplace as well as other stakeholders
regarding the permanent location of Arnold Market.
Approval is not obtained for the provision of
a temporary market at Eagle Square to allow for a period of
consultation regarding the permanent relocation. This would mean in
order to continue to operate the market from Eagle Square the
consents and permissions that are required will need to be renewed
annually. This will also fail to provide the traders with any
consistency for the permanence of their trading.
