Market move will cause 'chaos'

MARKET in Thornbury has been given the goahead to temporarily relocate onto a town centre car park - despite warnings it will cause "chaos".

The monthly Artisan Food, Craft and Gift Market will be held in St Mary Street car park while major roadworks take place in the High Street. South Gloucestershire Council's licensing committee approved the move despite warnings that it was the main car park for the shopping centre, NHS walk-in centre - and that works on nearby Rock Street car park had yet to be finished. The market's organiser said many small independent businesses relied on the market and it had to find a home while the High Street was unavailable.
