Gloucester Green Market operator pledges improvements after concerns

Summarised from 2 outlets · Updated 15 Oct, 06:03 · Archive

LSD Promotions, which operates Gloucester Green Market in Oxford, has promised improvements after traders and councillors raised concerns about hygiene facilities.

LSD Promotions, which has operated Gloucester Green Market in Oxford since 2013, has promised improvements following concerns raised by traders, councillors and shoppers. The market is on 'strong footing', the operator said, despite the criticisms.

Independent city councillor David Henwood championed calls for better hygiene facilities, having spotted 'waste, dirty surfaces and poor washing facilities' at the market, which he described as a 'disgrace'. He called for an investigation into whether the facilities provided to food stall holders met statutory Environmental Health requirements. Councillors alleged that rubbish piled up during trading hours, though LSD Promotions said 'records have not identified ongoing waste-management issues'.

LSD Promotions and Oxford City Council have announced several improvements. Washroom facilities will be refurbished by the council starting on 19 October. Other measures underway include replacing stall tops weakened by hot weather and introducing black bins to replace yellow ones, with a review of their positioning.
