Brighton and Hove City Council has the following markets: Upper Gardner Street, Brighton; George Street, Hove.

Here is the Council’s response to our FoI request:

Q: Do you allow stall holders at your markets to sell real fur? 

A:  Unfortunately there is no policy to prevent the sale of real fur.

However, in 2019 a motion was forwarded to the Policy and Resources Committee calling for a fur-free policy, meaning a fur ban is possible.

See the motion here: Fur Free City Motion  (brighton-hove.gov.uk)

Real fur is cruel and unnecessary. Please urge the Council to ban the sale of real fur on their markets and adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Cllr Jackie O’Quinn, Chair of Licensing Committee, email: jackie.o’quinn@brighton-hove.gov.uk
