Agenda item

Report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection (copy attached).

A report of the Director of Markets and Consumer Protection set out that a Working Party comprising the three Market Superintendents and Comptroller & City Solicitor was set up to review whether there was a need for a new set of byelaws. All three tenants associations, recognised tenants staff trade unions, and the City management at each Market were consulted as part of the review process.

RESOLVED – That Members agree that new byelaws are not sought for the Markets at present but that the position be monitored and, if existing remedies prove ineffective, the issue be reviewed, particularly if Fixed Penalty Notices become available as penalties under byelaws in the future.
