Reprieve for ailing historic market

SUPPORTERS of the 700-year-old Holywell Market may be given three months to save it.

- 

Councillors on Flintshire County Council’s Environment and Economy Overview and Scrutiny Committee have made a recommendation to Cabinet to keep both the historic Holywell Market and Mold car boot on Love Lane open until the end of the financial year.

The move is to give both Holywell and Mold Town Councils time to consider whether they want to take over the markets and negotiate a transfer with the local authority.
