Decision details
Pannier Market
Decision Maker: Chief Executive
Decision status: Recommendations Approved
Is Key decision?: No
Is subject to call in?: No
Purpose:
The Prime Minister announced on 25 May that
all non-essential retail including indoor markets could re-open
from 15 June if they follow the Covid-19 secure guidelines.
In order to comply with these guidelines the Council needs to make
changes to the operation and layout of the Barnstaple Pannier
Market. In addition the Council needs to be satisfied that each
individual trader is also compliant. This is best achieved by
issuing additional Covid-19 trading compliance conditions.
In line with other local markets the aim is to re-open Barnstaple
Pannier Market on Friday 3rd July as part of a phased return.
Initially, the market will trade on Friday 3rd July and Saturday
4th July with additional days added in subsequent weeks depending
on demand.
Current proposals are:
To issue temporary additional licence conditions (attached) to
enable the market to trade in line with current government
guidance. The conditions will be in addition to the current market
licence conditions however, in the event of there being any
contradiction between the market licence conditions and the
Covid-19 trading compliance conditions then during the current
Pandemic the Covid-19 trading compliance conditions shall take
precedence.
The Covid-19 trading compliance conditions will be published on the
Councils website.
Decision:
To approve additional Pannier Market Covid-19
trading compliance conditions and a revision of fees for a
temporary period.
