New Milton Town Council has the following markets: Weekly street trading in the high street.

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:   No trader sells fur products.

However they confirmed they do not have a policy in place to prevent this happening.

The Council allows the sale of fur. They have asked to see our Fur Free Markets policy to consider.

Real fur is cruel and unnecessary. Please urge the Council to ban the sale of real fur on their markets and join the official Fur Free Markets scheme by contacting Cllr Geoff Blunden, Chairman of Amenities Committee, email: geoff.blunden@newmiltontc.org.uk
