Markets on the move
There has been a number of changes in market location of late. Newport Farmers'
Market has returned to John frost Square under new management the Sketty Local Produce
Market has relocated to Bishop Gore Comprehensive school. Llandrindod Wells
Farmers' Market was threatened with closure after the Llandrindodd Wells Action
Team announced,in September, it would no longer run the market. A number of stall
holders have got together and the good news is the market will continue under
their management. The market has moved to the High Street and further information
may be obtained by contacting Joanne Nixon (07891064831).
After a recent conflict with the Memorial Hall Management Committee the Usk
Market has taken up residency in the adjacent Scout Centenary Hall. Although
this new building in considerably smaller than the Memorial it is beautifully
appointed and the two markets that have been held there have worked well. Stephen
Shearman (manager) says the move has resulted in the need to use more outdoor stalls which is not ideal for this time of year but the inexorable increases in the rent at
the Memorial Hall has meant a reappraisal of the longer term implications on
the market's sustainability.
