Knaresborough Town Council (KTC) values Knaresborough’s status as a Market Town dating back to the Royal Charter granted in 1310 and recognizes the value residents place on having a traditional weekly market.

KTC have been surprised by the timing of North Yorkshire Council’s (NYC) consultation on the operating of the market given that a scheme had been approved to allow Town Council to develop a business case to look at the feasibility of KTC taking over the running of the market in Knaresborough.

KTC will engage with NYC and work hard to ensure any decisions on the future operation of the market are in the best interests of Knaresborough and its residents.
