A web page has been introduced today by the Department for Communities & Local Government (CLG) which outlines the policy areas for the Working Group on Traditional Retail Markets.

FARMA is represented as one of the four organisations which formed the Retail Markets Alliance (RMA). FARMA speaks on behalf of farmers' markets.

The Working Group on Traditional Retail Markets will meet three times during 2010 (March, June and October) with ongoing work in between. The Group will initially focus on two main areas of work, being:-

  • developing a good practice guide for market managers, market trader representatives and private market managers; and
  • helping new market business start-ups and developing entrepreneurship skills of existing traders.

    • If you have comments on areas of policy, how much support you get or feel you need from local and/or central government, please email to This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it .
