Hastings Borough Council has the following markets: weekly Farmers Market in town centre, monthly St Leonards on Sea sea market, St Leonards Summer festival, 1066 Bike Rally & misc. others.

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:   ‘We would not allow real fur products to be sold.’

Please urge the Council to adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Cllr Colin Fitzgerald, Portfolio Holder for Environment and Place Directorate,  email: cllr.colin.fitzgerald@hastings.gov.uk
