including several food stalls.
On average the food stalls consist of:-

A sanitary block was established within the market area for the use of stall/holders
providing sanitary accommodation for males and females, hand washing and utensil
washing facilities.

been given to stall holders concerning the Food Hygiene Regulations and Merchandise
Marks Acts, and it is felt that a reasonable standard is now being maintained.
