Officers presented a revised version of the Redditch Open Air Market Regulations to the Committee. It was suggested that the previous Regulations, agreed in 2006, were no longer sufficient to support the efficient running of the Market.

The Committee welcomed the opportunity to more clearly define the rules on matters such as stall allocation, fees and methods of payment. It was noted that the revised Regulations had been agreed with the Market Traders.
