On the Market Place today


This morning on the Market Place, as part of the Oxfordshire Great Green Week, the people of Abingdon made Robin Nesting Boxes to be taken home and put up in suitable locations.

There were other green stalls under the County Hall and on the Market Place including one for Abingdon Liveable Streets, a project that aims to improve our walking and cycling routes so that people can travel to school or work safely without needing to use their cars.

Also on the Market Place was a Guide Dogs stall. The Market Place is not only available for Markets but also for community groups. The application process is on the town council website at https://www.abingdon.gov.uk/community-services/help-your-event/booking-market-place. The main issue for some groups is getting their own Public Liability Insurance for £10 million.

    And that insurance requirement is just mindless box ticking. Where is there any hazard to the public in a stall giving out information and running a tombola?
