The decision by Ryedale District Council (RDC) to temporarily relocate Pickering Market to the Ropery Car Park was taken on the basis that North Yorkshire County Council (NYCC) reimburse the Council for lost revenue income.
RDC is currently considering a request to permanently relocate the market, however there is clearly conflicting opinion about this view and the Council needs to understand the facts, together with the financial consequences, in order to make a decision on the future location of this market.
A consultation exercise will now be carried out by RDC with all stakeholders, which will inform the budget setting process – please email markets@ryedale.gov.uk to let us know what you think.
