Holsworthy Town Council – Weekly Market
Update – 12th June 2025
At the Market committee meeting held on 11th June 2025, the following agenda items were deferred:
10 – ‘’To discuss the agreed option to ‘’run the market seasonally’’ from Full Council Extraordinary meeting on April 23rd, 2025 and agree on the dates and times of operation’’
11- ‘’To discuss the agreed option to ‘’continue running the market but increase pricing to cover all costs’’ from Full Council Extraordinary meeting on April 23rd April, 2025, and agree on the new rates’
These items were deferred due to changes in the market finances as the council have now removed the cost of storage. As a result it was agreed that the Council will seek professional advice from a consultant, specifically around the running of our Outdoor Market with the intention of improving the weekly offering.
The Council intend to revisit Agenda items 10 & 11 by October 2025.
