*UPDATE*
A Bingley business leader fears for the future of the town’s outdoor market after Bradford Council told traders to put up their own stalls in a bid to save the taxpayer £25,000.
Bradford Council is proposing to withdraw services its staff have previously provided to put up and take down stalls at the market, which is held three days a week in Market Square.

Damian Town-Jones, 30, who is in his second year of running his mobility stall, said: “It’s ridiculous, the Council are being stupid and they will try and make money off this if it goes ahead. They should be supporting us and they don’t, it’s very frustrating.”
