Vehicular access to the site is limited. All access must be via the approved entrance at Bunkers Hill, with strict adherence to an approved site risk assessment and access protocol.
Any concessions will be licensed by the Council. However, the granting of a licence will not prevent the Council from issuing street trading consents to other individuals or businesses in the same vicinity.

There is no guarantee that any opportunity will be issued following this market engagement exercise.
Suppliers who wish to express their interest should do so by emailing [email protected] by no later than 10th November 2025.
Please note:
