'Chaos' warning as market moves to car park

From page 1

Four residents lodged objections 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 subcommittee gave their approval during a hearing on April 21.

Town councillor Fiona Deas told the meeting: “We really like the Green Top event and in the High Street - it’s been extremely successful.

"However, if they take up St Mary Street car park, the electric charging bays will be no longer accessible.
