Leeds City Council is taking a Kirkgate Market trader to court in a row over him hanging curtains, it has been revealed.
Narinder Sharma, 68, sells curtains and pillows in the market and is being prosecuted for hanging his products on a wall by the side of his city-centre stall. The case is listed at Kirklees Magistrates Court in Huddersfield on Monday January 16, next year.
The council has told traders to stop hanging products outside of their allotted space, informing them they would risk prosecution over the encroachment. The local authority has claimed the majority of traders were supportive of the motion and even encouraged the council to take action against those who continued to "unfairly" encroach.
