Is Bury market Britain’s Favourite?

Date published: 07 December 2009

The National Association of British Market Authorities (NABMA) has launched their annual nationwide competition in an attempt to find Britain’s favourite market.

These awards promote and celebrate the importance of local markets where high standards of service, products and good practice can be found.

Britain’s Favourite Market will be announced at an awards ceremony at the end of January.

Councillor Dorothy Gunther, Executive Member for Environment and Transport, said: “Bury Market has justifiably won NABMA’s Best Market Award twice before and only last year became BBC Radio 4’s Food and Farming Award’s ‘Best Food Market’. The market continues to be a popular visitor destination attracting over 1300 coaches this year.

"It is really important that local people back Bury Market so that it gains the national recognition it deserves in this poll."

Shoppers can register their vote online at www.nabma.com until Wednesday 20 January.
