A monthly market in Thornbury has been given the go-ahead to temporarily relocate from the High Street to a nearby car park. The Artisan Food, Craft and Gift Market will take place in St Mary Street car park while major roadworks take place in the High Street.
Four residents had objected to the plans to relocate the market, due to concerns about the loss of spaces in the car park. But the market organisers have promised to leave some spaces free, including for disabled drivers and people going to the NHS walk-in centre.
The market is run by Green Top Events, a Welsh company which has now been granted a street trading licence from South Gloucestershire Council to use St Mary Street car park. The council’s licensing sub-committee gave their approval during a hearing on Friday, March 21.
