Readers will be disappointed to learn that the monthly market, which was due to start in late October, will be delayed until some time early next year.
It is not for want of trying by local people, especially by Councillor Roy Scammell. Agreement had been obtained with local retailers who might have had fears, a coordinator/organiser had been found and interested "farmers" were evident.
There was however, considerable delay caused by confusion and a lack of understanding by staff at the Borough Council, although recently they have become more focussed and proactive. In the meantime, the lady who had agreed to be coordinator has decided that she can wait no longer, and has pulled out.
On the assumption that any remaining legal problems ought to be resolved quickly, and in the belief that another organiser can be found, the plan is to have a launch fairly early in 2009.
