Plan to relocate the Hassocks Village Market are to be considered by Mid Sussex District Council.

The market was previously held on the forecourt of National Tyres, in Keymer Road, but an application to move it to the Pauline Thaw Centre car park (Age Concern), in Dale Avenue, will be discussed by the planning committee on Thursday (January 12).

The plans have to be put to the committee as the land is owned by the council.

A report to the committee said the aim was for the market to be held on the fourth Saturday of the month, apart from December when it would be held on the third Saturday of the month.

The report added: “The proposal does not include any permanent structures as it has been confirmed that stall-holders will set up and dismantle their own trestle tables and gazebos.”

The council has received no letters objecting to the plans. The parish council has given its full support.
