Councillors have hailed the success of a new market that was launched in Burntwood over the weekend.
The event at Sankey’s Corner yesterday (8th August) was the first in a pilot series to gauge demand for a more permanent addition to the town’s calendar.
It was organised as a partnership between Lichfield District Council and Burntwood Town Council following the last minute cancellation of a previous market.
Cllr Doug Pullen, leader of the district council, said:
“Thanks to all those involved in making the new Burntwood market happen.
“Hopefully this will be the first of many.”

Burntwood Town Council leader, Cllr Sue Woodward, said:
“There was a really good turnout at Sankey’s Corner for our pilot market.
“It was good to see the partnership between Burntwood Town Council and Lichfield District Council bearing fruit.”
