Preston Council has the following markets: Preston Indoor Market, Preston Outdoor Market, Preston Car Boot 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: We do have the powers to limit what traders can sell or display. However, at the moment sale of real fur is not currently on our prohibited list of products. We are currently revising our Rules and Regulations for the new Market, so would be happy to receive recommended form of words.
The Council allows the sale of fur, but 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 adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Cllr R. Boswell, Cabinet Member For Community and the Environment (Deputy Leader), email: cllr.r.boswell@preston.gov.uk
