Oswestry Markets Re-launch Easter 2010

In the feedback from the July 1st 2009 meeting of the local joint committee, Dave Preston is quoted as saying, “A Markets 2010 project group is to be set up of council, mydeco and traders looking for a relaunch of Oswestry Markets in Easter 2010.”

To have a direction is most welcome and the logic of re-launching all the markets together is understandable – but what are the shorter term goals for the Outdoor Market on Bailey Head.

It would make sense to get that into shape BEFORE the 2010 Re-Launch. To get a worthwhile PRODUCT before we spend money re-launching it, otherwise we’ll be back to square one.

Look forward to hearing other thoughts and comments.
