Norwich market had similar pressures to Newark to close ,several years back , a very determined group of people ,in tern ,kept pressure on the council to provide a livestock market, evoking an ancient charter obliging them to provide a site. It is a thriving small market, farmer owned and operated.
I believe Newark has a similar charter.

Something similar happened with Darlington back in the early 90s.
There is also plans to move it again, not sure how much I'm meant to say on an open forum and how much is already public

It seems Newark is lacking a similar group of determined farmers.

Well, there was a fair turnout of us that night when it started getting a bit dodgy.
Maybe we were mostly concerned that we'd get paid for what we'd already sold

Yes I remember. To be fair, the presentation that night didn’t exactly inspire confidence...

Yes.

POLL: Should Newark still have a cattlemarket?
Farmers say they're being overlooked and forgotten ten months after their livestock market shut.

EDIT...I expect the other 8% are made up of Louth, Melton, Bakewell, Skipton, Darlington and Thirsk markets

Think we are half Darlington and half Newark now
Farmers appeal for return of market
Farmers say they are being overlooked, ten months after their livestock market shut resulting in them travelling further, adding to already long days.

Time seems to have passed by now to open a mart in Newark, which is a shame I used to like my Newark stores from there on a Saturday.Farmers appeal for return of market
