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 and they have refused to consider our recommended policy.

Please urge the Council to adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Councillor Jonathan Nunn (Leader of the Council), email: cllr.jnunn@northampton.gov.uk
