North West Leicestershire District Council has the following markets: Coalville Market

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:   There are no legal requirements for the council to adopt a policy on this issue and the Council does not have a policy on the sale of real fur at its market.

The Council allows the sale of fur. They did not respond to our offer to receive our fur free markets scheme information.

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 Councillor Tony Gillard, Portfolio holder for business, email: tony.gillard@nwleicestershire.gov.uk
