3. From time to time Traders may be required to re-submit, upon request, a new application form and all relevant documentation in order that Market Management may keep their records up-to-date.

4. All Traders must provide a trading address. If this is not provided; it will be assumed that the home address is the trading address. In the event that Market Management should receive written complaints the trading address is the address that will be supplied to complainants.

Allocation of Stalls to Permanent Traders

5. All new Traders are expected to trade for a minimum of 4 consecutive weeks before they can apply to be a Permanent Trader.

6. A Permanent Trader will be granted a recurring Daily Licence for particular days of the week and in respect of a particular Stall for a minimum of 4 days (Mondays are optional - see regulations 11 and 12). The procedure to be registered as a Permanent Trader is attached at Appendix 2.

7. The allocation of a Stall is personal to the Permanent Trader who shall not assign, transfer, share or part with the Stall allocated, unless nominating a successor see Appendix 5. The Trader may, however, employ other persons to assist him/her.

8. Traders shall only trade from the Stall or space allocated and must not trade from any other stall or space unless instructed to do so by Market Management.

9. The site or size of the Stall allocated shall be at the absolute discretion of Market Management.

10. If a Trader wishes to make changes to their Daily Licence, including adding or deleting Stalls or changes to product lines, then a Licence Amendment Form must be competed beforehand and submitted to Market Management for approval. This will incur a fee (see Appendix 7).

11. Any Permanent Trader who does not wish to be issued with a recurring Daily Licence in respect of Mondays must ensure that the Stall subject to the Daily Licence is unstocked each week and made fully available for use by Casual Traders on Mondays.

12. Granting of a Daily Licence for a Monday is at the absolute discretion of Market Management. In the event that a Permanent Trader requests a transfer of Stall Market Management cannot guarantee that the Stall will be issued a recurring Daily Licence in respect of Mondays

Allocation of Stalls to Casual Traders

13. Stalls, if available, shall be allocated by Market Management prior to the opening time on each market day or after opening time where paragraph 32 applies. Details of Stalls available to Casual Traders shall be clearly displayed at the Market office.

14. Casual Traders must not set up on any Stall before allocation has been confirmed by Market Management.

15. Casual Traders who refuse the offer of a particular Stall at the allocation time may not be offered an alternative Stall.

16. The allocation of a Stall is personal to the Casual Trader who shall not assign, transfer, share or part with the stall or space allocated.

17. The trader shall only trade from the Stall allocated and must not trade from any other Stall unless instructed to do so by Market Management.

18. Market Management reserves the right not to allocate a Stall or to restrict permitted lines of stock, to a Casual Trader if, in the opinion of the Market Management, to do so would disrupt the balance of trade on the market.

Charges

19. The Licence Fee (and all other charges) levied to Permanent Traders are by quarterly (13 week) invoice. Each invoice is divided by 3 and each monthly instalment is due on the 15th of each month. The period of the invoice has no bearing on the period of the Licence, which remains a Daily Licence.

20. Any discount made available for direct debit payments or early payment will be automatically allocated to invoice.

21. A discounted payment method (30 days or direct debit) must be selected prior to the 15th day of the month proceeding the invoice period.

(a) A fee will be applied for defaulting within the invoice period see Appendix 7.

(b) Any default / opting out of the discount applied (for a preferred payment method) will be invoiced separately for the additional discount amount and will incur an admin charge (see Appendix 7).

22. Charges in connection with the Licence Fee for a Casual Trader must be paid on a daily basis, upon request by Market Management and in any case not later than 12:00 noon.

23. Where a Permanent Trader is absent on any market day, the daily Licence Fee shall be payable subject to Appendix 3.

24. The Council reserves the right to amend its charges as necessary, and will inform traders of any changes to its charges (see Appendix 7) with at least fourteen days' notice.

Debt Recovery

26. The first arrears warning will be generated automatically 21 days after the instalment due date (first week of following month) for any payments not cleared.

27. Upon payment not being received within 10 days after the issue of the warning letter (~1 month after original instalment date) a suspension letter will be issued and the recurring Daily Licence will not be issued until such time as payments are brought up to date.

28. Notwithstanding the above, if arrears are still outstanding by the end of the month following the original instalment date (~6 weeks later) the recurring Daily Licence will not be issued again to the Daily Licence Holder and the Stall will be reallocated to another Trader. The Daily Licence Holder will be liable for any cost incurred in reinstating the Stall(s). This cost may be referred to a Debt Collection Agency for recovery and any additional costs incurred in the recovery of the debt will be added to the sum payable.

29. It is the Permanent Traders responsibility to make arrangements for the Licence Fee and any other applicable charges to be paid in advance of any holiday / period of absence which would trigger the debt recovery process.

30. The Permanent Trader will be liable for any additional charges that are made for the production of any letters related to the pursuance of any arrears (see Appendix 7).

31. Any invoice issued not in accordance with paragraph 19 should be settled within 30 days of invoice date.

Sale and Storage of Goods

35. For Permanent traders, only those goods specified on the recurring Daily Licence may be sold, however Permanent Traders must complete a Licence Amendment Form and submit to Market Management for approval if they wish to change the type of goods sold. A fee may apply (see Appendix 7) to change the type of goods sold.

36. A balance of trade across the market will be determined by the Market Management based on Key Lines licenced for each stall and their location. Any Incidental Lines permitted will not be taken into account when allocating Stalls with such products as their Key Lines. Any lines listed but not stocked in sufficient quantity on a regular basis, as determined by the Market Management, may be withdrawn from a Traders licence or discounted when considering new traders applications.

37. For Casual Traders, only those goods agreed at the time of daily stall allocation may be sold. This may vary depending upon the position of the Stall available.

38. There are no maximum number Stalls permitted for any type of goods or service on any market and new Traders will be permitted to sell goods at the sole discretion of the Market Management but not immediately adjacent or opposite a Stall selling similar type of goods or services without the consent of both Traders.

39. The trader must endeavour to keep the Stall well stocked with goods available to purchase throughout the full trading day (see Appendix 6). Traders of poorly stocked stalls may have their Daily Licence reviewed and it may be revoked with immediate effect.

40. Security of goods and property on Stalls during the trading day is the responsibility of the Trader and/or their employees/assistants.

45. Stalls must be vacated no later than 1 hour 30 minutes after the official closing time of the market, unless express permission has been granted by Market Management.

46. In the event that a Stall is not vacated in accordance with paragraph 45 and should Market Management feel that market security is at risk, the locks on a lock up unit may be changed and costs re-charged to the Trader and/or disciplinary action may be taken.

47. Any goods or property left after closing time remains the responsibility of the Trader and they should take appropriate measures to secure it. The Council is not liable for any losses howsoever caused.

51. The Council may from time to time designate additional days as either Full Market or Perimeter Market trading days and on such days any Permanent Traders who chose to open are expected to be trading in accordance with these regulations. The extra days will be charged as a normal day (regardless of hours traded by any individual trader) and cash payment will be collected by Market Management on the day.

52. The Council reserves the right to amend the market trading days, the opening hours, to alter the layout of any market or to close and stop the sales from any Stall at any time with or without notice, without being liable for any loss sustained by the Trader, directly or indirectly, if in its opinion it is in the best interest of the market in the circumstances
