Due to adverse weather conditions there's been gaps in the market recently, but the traders would like all of you to know that council parking restrictions still apply, as we're keen to avoid you suffering unnecessary fines especially given that we believe the signing of these restrictions is not clear enough.

The current policy of the council/police is to ticket anyone who parks within the following restrictions, even if there is a gap in the stalls.

Current Parking Restrictions on the Market Setts:

No Parking is allowed on the Market Setts from

6am - 6.45pm on Mon, Wed, Fri,  or Sat.

This is a long standing problem for all of us, traders and customers alike.  Sadly the Council's signing of the parking restrictions on market days is woefully inadequate and I'm sure it must come as quite a shock for some of our valued visitors to find their day has taken a financial turn for the worse on returning to their car. It's not in anyone's interest for this to happen so we'd like to take this opportunity to direct you to the most convenient car parking in town by clicking on the Parking link in the main menu.

On Tues and Thurs only 2 hours parking is allowed between 8am - 6pm
