Consideration of the draft Markets Policy following public consultation

From: Executive - Tuesday 7th October, 2025 7.00 pm - October 07, 2025

In July 2024, the council amended its approach to the licensing and regulation of markets to utilise its powers under the Food Act 1984 rather than the Local Government (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1982 as previously. The proposed Market Policy builds on this change and provides a policy framework for promoting and growing the council’s existing markets while also enabling the diversity of markets throughout East Herts.
