Future of popular Sevenoaks weekly market secured
Sevenoaks Chronicle By spdoran
Traders will now be asked to return after being told before Christmas the market was to shut
THE future of a popular weekly market in Sevenoaks appears to have been secured.
The Saturday market in Blighs Meadow car park had been running for more than a decade until traders were told before Christmas that it was to shut as it was running at a loss.
Sevenoaks Town Council was then spurred into action and contacted site owners Ignis to express an interest at taking control of the 12-stall market.
This week, the two parties agreed in principle that the town council will manage the stalls, subject to legal agreement.
The addition of a farmers’ market, an amenity many residents have sought, is also in the pipeline.
