NORTH YORKSHIRE:


Rent increases discussed at meeting At Leyburn Town Council’s October meeting local


market traders discussed their concerns over a recent increase in rental charges. The council explained that upon review it was noted that casual traders were paying considerably


less per square metre than the permanent traders, and the reason for the increase was to bring the casual traders rate in line with the permanent traders rate. Traders also expressed concerns over restrictions on set up times due to noise pollution, as well as the decline in the market.

For around a hundred years, Fred Moore’s family ran a stall on Darlington’s outdoor market selling fresh fish to crowds of shoppers. Mr Moore took over the business from his father, who had inherited it from his own


father and him in turn from another relative, with the Moores thereby becoming a regular fixture at the bustling market for generations. Following a long illness, Fred Moore died on Monday, October 8 and has been


remembered fondly by his loved ones and those who recall stopping by his stall. The popular Darlington man was 73 when he died and had been living in the town’s


Rydal Care Home after suffering a series of strokes. His time working at the markets was a defining feature of his life, according to his


son Phil Moore, who said Mr Moore had also served as chair of the town’s Market Association.
