Teignbridge District Council has the following markets: Newton Abbot Market.

Here is the Council’s response to our Freedom of Information request:

Q: Do you allow stall holders at your markets to sell real fur? (including small items such as knitted hats with fur bobbles, or key rings with fur trims etc.

A: We do not have a policy on selling real fur.  The Market Manager advises that he has not seen any trader selling real fur

The Council allows the sale of fur. They have asked to see our Fur Free Markets policy to consider.

Real fur is cruel and unnecessary. Please urge the Council to ban the sale of real fur on their markets and adopt the official Fur Free Markets policy by contacting  Cllr Timothy Golder, Portfolio Holder for Economy Skills and Tourism, email: timothy.golder@teignbridge.gov.uk
