Scarborough Borough Council has the following markets: Scarborough Market Hall and Vaults, Whitby 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:   ‘No’

However, we are unaware of any official policy documents or guidelines to enforce this.

Please urge the Council to adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting Cllr Bill Chatt, Portfolio Holder for Public Health and Housing , email: Cllr.bill.chatt@scarborough.gov.uk
