Harrogate Borough Council has the following markets: Ripon Market, Knaresborough Market and a Christmas Market

Here is the Council’s response to our FoI 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:   ‘No’. 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 Cllr Zoe Metcalfe: zoe.metcalfe@harrogate.gov.uk
