There
are two categories of trader. |
|
"Regular"
traders have been
allocated the right to occupy the same stall on a given day, and to
‘set up’ that stall before a specific "letting" time. They are also
granted a holiday entitlement of three weeks per year, after a
qualifying period of twelve months. In return they pay a
reservation fee equal to half the normal stall charge, if they do
not attend the market to maintain their permanent allocation. |
|
"Casual"
traders take a chance
being allocated stall in days which they attend a market but pay no
charges on the days in which they do not attend.
"Casual" traders
have regular opportunities to opt for "regular" status. |
|
On
Calderdale Markets the normal letting procedure for casual traders
takes place at 9am on the market ground. On the first visit each
trader is required to complete a registration form issued and
retained by the Market Inspector. Identification showing proof of
address is also required on the traders first visit, e.g. driving
licence. At that point they are issued with a copy of the
market
regulations and details are entered at the bottom of the ‘Casual
List’.
|
|
Each attendance, on a
particular day, gains the trader an "attendance point" which is
recorded by the Market Inspector. During the letting process,
stalls are first offered to traders with the most "attendance
points", proceeding until all the stalls have been allocated or all
traders have a stall. Casual traders who are absent from the market
for three consecutive weeks are removed from the ‘Casual List’.
After approximately five weeks the top Casual Trader will be offered
a vacant stall as a Regular Trader, depending on the position of
that stall and goods sold. |
