Cumbria farmers’ markets affected by van theft
June 28, 2012 BBC
The farmers' market in Orton takes place on the second Saturday of every month
Farmers’ markets in south Cumbria have been affected by the theft of a van containing stalls and other equipment.
The Ford Transit, used by a community enterprise company Orton Farmers’ Ltd, was taken from a farm near Tebay.
Inside were 15 green and white striped pop-up stalls, a generator, weights, a PA system and signage.
The market co-ordinator said that renting the items would greatly add to the cost of the events, which benefit local farmers and other businesses.
Leanne Duerden said: “This equipment isn’t just used at Orton Farmers’ Market but is also shared with the markets at Brampton, Cartmel and Pooley Bridge so it is a huge loss.
