Agenda item

To note the review of the extension of pitches designation of North Cross Road.

John McHenry, markets development manager, presented his report and updated the sub-committee with regard to the details on the review of the extension of pitches designation and the experimental road closure. Members had questions.

The street markets development manager advised that he would bring a future report to the licensing committee to look at the possibility of a Sunday market also.

Members asked that officers could ensure that all the market stalls faced the same way in order to improve the organisation of the stalls.

RESOLVED:

1.  That the committee noted the details of the review of the extension of pitches designation and experimental road closure.

2.  That the committee noted that no further variation of the designation is required following the review.

3.  That the committee supported the extension of the Saturday experimental road closure at the junction with Lordship Lane for a further period of 12 months, and then permanently if no further objections.

4.  That the committee noted an application to extend parking restrictions on Saturdays to ensure no parking on pitches during market hours.
