Harlow Council has the following markets: Occasional Events and Street Traders.

Here is the Council’s response to our Freedom of Information request:

Q: Do you allow stall holders at your markets to sell real fur? (including small items such as knitted hats with fur bobbles, or key rings with fur trims etc.

A:  The Council would not wish to be associated with the sale of real fur.

The Council no longer manages a market but does licence street traders and would not issue a licence to persons selling fur.  This would be communicated to the trader on application for a street trading licence.  

However, we are unaware of any official policy documents or guidelines to enforce this.
Please urge the Council to adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Councillor Danny Purton, Portfolio Holder for Environment,  email: danny.purton@harlow.gov.uk
